DEPENDING ON HOW LONG THE BODY HAS BEEN DECOMPOSING, THE SMELL IS SOMETHING YOU NVR WANT TO SMELL AGAIN AND IT CANT BE COMPARED TO ANYTHING. I HAVE A VERY TOUGH STOMACH/MIND. SO NOTHING REALLY TURNS MY STOMACH EXCEPT PUKE AND CHILDBIRTH. BUT THAT SMELL HAS MADE ME GAG A FEW TIMES.
I PICKED UP A BODY OF A RUSSIAN SAILOR OUT OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER ONCE. IT SMELLED SO BAD, THE VAN WE TRANSPORTED THE BODY IN SMELLED SO BAD JUST FROM HAVING THE BODY IN IT, WE HAD TO HAVE IT STEAM CLEANED TWO TIMES AND HURRY UP AND SELL IT BEFORE THE STINCH STARTED TO COME OUT AGAIN. HE HAD CRABS AND OTHER PARASITES EATING THE INSIDE OF HIS EYES, EARS, NOSE, AND ANY OTHER orifice THEY COULD GET INTO.
..KAYNE knows the biz...I'm a mortician and our family has a funeral home and cemetery..on a side note,cemeteries are much more of a bitch to operate than the funeral side..we have about 3000 memorials in our cemetery and just cutting the grass and weed eating around the memorials is very labor intensive..when things get slow I'll go out in the cemetery and weed eat in shorts w/o a shirt..great exercise and i can get a tan to boot..filling in the graves after the burial is a science in itself...it takes a couple of good hard rains to get the dirt to settle and then you have to refill and spot refill,pack it again...set the memorial level..etc,etc,..and then you have to sod the grave...imagine sodding about 50 graves every couple of months..trying to get all the graves level and packed before we bring in the sod..and hten too,once that grave is there..the family can come in years later and bellyache about some aspect of grandma's grave..a good storm will come through and blow the artficial flowers all over the cemetery..and the family will come in "where my damn flowers?who stole my flowers?"..i understand why they are upset as these arangements can cost close to 50..but we can't figure out whose is whose after the storm..I'll tell you this,we earn about a dollar and half for every dollar we make..now for my nasty body story..one time in midsummer we got a call to make a removal at a residence..me and my mom got about a mile down the road when my mom mentioned that the deceased had been dead a couple to three days..I was thinking well shit now you tell me..so i turned the hearse around and went back to get my respirator mask..its like a gas mask and you can't smell anything(just don't retch when you have it on)..so we got to the house and i backed the hearse into the driveway..I looked over at the house and noticed the dryer vent and there was a swarm of flys hovering around the dryer vent..then the cops gave me directions as to where the body was within the house..no thye didn't take me into the house,the told me where I could find "her"..between the fly rally and the fact that the cops wouldn't even reenter the house..I knew I was going to earn my money that day...well she was heavy and had been baking within the hot alabama sun in the house for about 3 days..the fly swarm got thicker inside and the AC wasn't on(older people on limited income won't run the AC constantly)..well she was face down in the bathroom and her massive size was ballooned form decomp gases and she was purging form her orifices....I got in position to move her out of the bathroom and she was parked right over a floor vent(the AC floor vent was right between her legs)..i heard my mom say that she was going to turn on the AC..before I could say NO..she hit the switch..well the floor vent kicked in and strarted blowing liguid debris all over..the walls,me..fuck it was nasty..now i couldn't smell cause of my trusty respirator mask,but I was beginning to heave nonetheless..and you don't want to heave into the mask..then you got a whole other set of nastiness to deal with..well I fought off the heaves(I'm a professional) and we got the body inot the van..I left the hearse and switched vehicles when I got my mask..you don't want to soil your 80K hearse..I had to drive back to the funeral home with my head out the window..decomp is that bad..the absolute worse smell..and it stays with you..in your lungs,the vehicle,the embalming room..fuck it stays with psychologically after the smell is gone..we put her one of our BMW body bags(there are various levels of body bags..a beamer body bag costs us about 150)and i bought two big bags of lime to toss in along with our preservative and deoderizing powders..obviously this was closed casket and I didn't embalm..still with a sealed closed casket and lime and heavy duty BMW bag..I still felt like I could smell her..amybe it was in my mind..but like I said,that smell hangs with you for days
