What does it feel like to be an embalmer?

Question

What was your first as an embalmer like?

Where you queasy on the first day?

Answer 1

It feels good to help a family through their difficult time, and to restore their loved one to the way they remeber them best.  I love embalming and making people look nice for their family.

Yes, I was quesy at first (first answer is not true) but you really do get used to it.  You don't just waltz into a prep room on your first day of work or ANY job without being quesy!!

Answer 2

probably a question better asked in "medicine."  just because it's creepy doesn't mean it belongs in this section =P

you mix chemicals, replace people's blood with them, and then make them look nice.  if you don't mind being around dead people, then it isn't weird at all.  

if you're queasy on the first day, it isn't the job for you.  you shouldn't have to get used to your job.  your job should be something that you can remotely enjoy.
