Or hide one.

Frightening how many people die alone in their homes and nobody even notices for weeks or months
Frightening how no one could smell a bath full of crap for weeks, I want to know what insulation they used
I had a neighbor that was dead for months in his house. My dad commented on his porch light that was always on, and I delivered papers that kept piling up.... Memories
@@inlangford I hope it didn't have a lasting negative impact, God bless you
I worked as a biorecovery tech for 2 years. Decomps were very common AND said. Typically old people who were alone and passed away. It doesn't take long for the body to start leaking fluids after they pass away.
The Smell is not nice and the Death flies come in army mode
This is an extremely important job. I worked with a girl whose grandmother shot herself. The family had to clean it up. Can you imagine how devastating it was to clean that up
kzhead.info/sun/ltCjpM2sgmtvrX0/bejne.html
I always wondered who cleaned it up but holy shit that is a literal nightmare that you described. Have to clean up a loved ones remains piece by piece 😪 may none of us have to experience such a chilling event
Can't even imagine how traumatic that must be.
when my mother almost bled to death in our house and lost over 3 litres of blood (miracle she’s still alive ) but yeah it was all over our floors and carpets and me and my family had to clean that up. I was like 11
@@Bella-dz2fu glad she made it. It must have been terrifying
Doing some time in this profession - he is holding back laughter at points. We aren’t psychopaths, most are just the type that are very good at laughing off absolutely terrible events.
Yup especially in healthcare. It’s a coping mechanism
First few days I'd puke and then laugh too. I mean, come on, 'his foot fell off' 😂😂😂
I believe it's called gallows humour. It's a coping mechanism
@@EvilKris You can get a certificate and hopefully land a higher-paying job. Not all places require it, but you will need SOME form of training as there are certain procedures you must follow. I was just a twenty-something looking for work in a high crime rate, urban sprawl. Found the ad, said, “What the hell?” Interview, training, and got started. I have a college degree and could just as well be working a desk job. Some people just aren’t meant for that type of work, though. I love the fast-paced environment and camaraderie built with my coworkers. Never regretted it!
@@girlscoutfather2710 Excellent! Thank you.
Nothing but respect for this dude.
Why?
Paid fat cause has a strong stomach thank nurses
He even said pay people enough they will do it
@@damianjohn5995 yes, if you paid people an absurd, unrealistic amount they’d do it because thats how brutal his job is? But he’s willing to do it for a reasonable price. Probably gets paid way less than id want after ive heard what he has to do

"But it was great we had two places to clean up- the shop and the flat." I need this guys optimism....
You mean money?😂🤣😅😂🤣😅
or Right ear?
For real tho !
He brought me some experience, strength and hope too!
Finding the positive in a "shitty' situation 😅
Absolute respect to this man and his colleagues. I have a very close family friend whose father committed a homicide/suicide, my friend lost both of his parents that night. We live in a very small town and he was horrified when he realized there weren't any local businesses that do this sort of cleanup (nearest was 3 hours away in a larger city). I ended up volunteering to do cleanup and basically forcing him to stay at my house. I knew his parents enough to call them friends and it was still a very... let's say uncomfortable experience scraping brain matter off the wall and ripping up carpet. I can't imagine what he would have felt if he had to do it. Again, mad respect to anyone in this field of work.
And mad respect to you! You're a good friend.
Top Man
You're a good friend.
That is an extremely kind act you did for your friend.
You’re an amazing friend. 1 in a billion
I've had the pleasure of meeting Ben during my crime scene cleaning training and i cannot speak highly enough of him or his associates... not only is he extremely empathetic, kind, professional and warm-hearted but he is also a really fun person to be around. It's so interesting to see him in this light and he was the one to mention this interview during training because of the way that people see us in our daily jobs....
He looks like a very nice and polite version of Gordon Ramsay .. Edit: just for good order: I love Ramsay and I think he's awesome (like this guy in the video btw!)
Was just thinking this
@@Jasmine-ct4qi exactly what I was thinking.
i thought this lmao
My first thought exactly!!😄
So glad it wasn't just me who thought this 😅
He looks like a mixture of Gordon Ramsey and Daniel Craig His voice is very calming
He’s exactly Ramsey and Craig. That’s weird! Good call.
I thought martin Freeman 🤣
I see Ramsey and Boris Johnson lol
I had to do a double take
I wouldn't eat a single thing he cooked however
The guy has my admiration for showing so much humility. He does a deeply unpleasant and horrendous sounding job in a completely professional manner.
As someone who has smelled a decomposed body before, imagine a very poorly kept outhouse in the hot summer, mixed with rotten fish, ammonia, and sewer gas. The smell is so overwhelming and intense that it feels almost impossible to breathe.
Putrefaction, yeah. There's nothing quite like it. It's essentially a chemical burn to your senses. Only thing I've smelled worse is a rotting whale carcass that had exploded, then baked in the sun. That was heinous.
You never forget the smell of decomposition... when you smell it you know instantly what it is. Having volunteered in a mortuary it's so hard to get the smell of your skin when you've been around it.
@@kayleet8370 The ammonia especially.
@@kayleet8370 Another smell that comes fairly close to being just as bad as putrefaction, is homemade nettle fertilizer. Take some nettle leaves, put them in a bucket of water, then put a lid on the bucket and leave for 2 months. Open it, give it a whiff...... It smells like the gates of hell, but will work miracles on plants.
I had to clean up a dead chicken and that was the most putrid shit I’ve ever done, the smell was so horrendous it literally stunned me. I couldn’t even imagine what a decomposed person would smell like.
He is so soft spoken regardless of the horrors he’s seen. It’s almost impressive that he still has his sanity and manners seeing the wort part of humanity.
I thought the same Morgan. Much respect to him.
$$$$
The things he has to deal with: 🤢🤮☠️💩🩸🧠🦶🧟 His personality: 🥰☺️😁💖🌺
You get desensitized to it. Those horrors might still affect him from the subconsciousness without him realizing it. I've got experience of that, because I used to do work in a job in which I had to face the dark side of humanity. It felt fine by the time, perhaps because I had seen a lot since my childhood, but I started to have nightmares only after I stopped that work. I realized it had desensitized me to the level I was out of touch with my emotions and body. Sort of dissociating whenever I heard about something horrible and nothing really fazed me. Yet I struggled with normal life and I developed generalized anxiety and social anxiety disorders.
@@YugeYun I'm so sorry :(
To be honest, as wild as this story is, he sounds like he takes the job quite seriously and is quite professional. I would hire him in a heartbeat.
Hopefully you don’t need to
I’m imagining the clean up crew from John Wick
You got plans do ya.
Or in no heartbeat 😂
IKR? Next time I have a murder scene to clean up, I'll definitely call him. :)
The sad part is how he basically says substance abuse and suicide deaths have skyrocketed the past few years, which means mental health is massively deteriorating, and nothing is being done about it. I foresee an even greater rise in these numbers with the current global chaos going on.
Suicide is the most selfish thing you can do
Sadly, agreed. The very fabric of society has been eroding for many years now. Not just in our own back yards, but globally too.
@@katiesimpson4514 Yes very true. For one to figure out why this has come to be, one should understand that systems and laws have and are purposefully being implemented to breakdown the human experience, to fragment it and cause it to deteriorated and become unproductive. In this way an easily manageable, non questioning, homogenous mass is created, with profits and misery being the end goal. I sometimes think, in a desperate attempt to understand things, that the kiddie movie 'Monster Inc' is an actual reflection of how the world is run; They literally need misery as fuel, caused by fear mongering. Seems all the more plausible given the past few years' chaos.
Companies still aren’t hiring. They know they’re more ppl than jobs. I wish they’d hire.
@@snicksabea They know that the system is designed to treat people as disposable objects, like robots they can wear down till we break in one way or the other, and even pass away. They know that there are no safety nets, nor laws or legislation to protect people when they ill treat us. They know that people are worked so hard, are fragmented as in we don't unite across our groups. We don't have more than just local community, if even that,. That means we are easy to subject to inhumane treatment without consequences, because we don't stand together to support each other, but also we are divided and cant fight them as one people. There is much truth in divided we fall, united we stand.
It really takes a special person to do what he does. What a kind man.
This man is the definition of “calm and collected”
Normal. You probably hate the first and/or the second time.... but once it's a daily job, you don't care anymore. If you still care, you should immediately drop that job. I mean it's still sad and everything, but it doesn't give you some kind of PTSD. You do what you're paid for and leave.
“So I started in window cleaning..” you gotta be calm and collected, those are usually the only people on the job ;)
kzhead.info/sun/ltCjpM2sgmtvrX0/bejne.html
He is a man, you never know what he feels inside.
Not all psychopaths are killers. Some are CEOs and others are crime scene cleaners.
What a calming voice in telling his story.

My great uncle died alone and several people came to check on him but when he didn’t come to the door the just figured he was hunting. Finally one of his close friends noticed that the windows were completely covered with blowflies on the inside. He had been dead for several days. It’s so sad that people die alone.
The sheer RESPECT this man gives to the people and scenes he's experienced.... What a guy .
huge respect for this man, cant imagine how this job must affect every aspect of someones life
My husband has worked for a restoration company for 20 years and occasionally they get calls like this for people who have passed, committed suicide or were murdered. He has to go look at it and come up with a plan to clean and estimate. It completely effects him. Even though the body has been removed, the smell and body fluids/pieces are still there. He always says a prayer before walking in and then again when walking out. It's an extremely traumatizing experience.
I'm sure you would become desensitised fairly quickly
it doesn't, at least for me. I'm not cleaning the places, but I deal with the bodies from those places (occasionally, usually its just old dead people in retirement homes). I'm a student, so at the moment it's just for the money, but after a case like this you go take a shower and usually its out of my thought by then. I usually just deal with the bodies, the talks with the relatives does someone else, but it changes things when you first come in contact with their grieving loved ones. but usually i can just dissasociate, it's just "dead organic matter", nothing behind it. Sounds cruel, i know, but I guess that's how I cope with it anyways.
@@-max-4920 I used to be this way until experiencing the traumatic death of a loved one, then I lost that ability, my empathy came too far to the front and now I always meet their loved ones in my mind and it's hard to switch off.
@@mrs.g77 Respects to your man
I reckon that despite the horrendous stuff he sees, he is probably happier and more content than the vast majority of people because he understands what is actually important in life and focuses on being a father and husband. Seeing just how shit life can be would probably make you very grateful for what you have.
True,
as someone whos worked in this field you are kinda right those that stay in the field for a while get this and are very laid back people who aren't phased or offended by anything or they turn to hard drugs to cope in some companies.
I'm sure the fact that he gets paid very well doesn't hurt either.
@@zer0teku true, we met someone not too long ago who worked as an undertaker. The guy couldn't function without using coke.
I'm sure the truckloads of cash he has in the bank help a lot too... :)
A horrific and absolute horror to see these things and have this job. It's scary how dark and evil people can be. To think that people can be capable of doing so gore stuff. He must have a gut of steel to be able to endure the sight and situations he's been put through
you'd have to think a lot of it is some form of (drug-induced?) psychosis? How else would you get it in your head to cut your own intestines? IF I were to contemplate suicide I'd look for the most pain-free way to do it.
When he spoke about the woman who was killed it made me genuinely cry, she must have fought so hard to stay alive
I can't imagine being bludgeoned and surviving for 3 days before being found. She must have been in so much pain.
I know. That story is honestly so heartbreaking I wish I hadn't heard it. Edit to add: Although my guess is she was unconscious or maybe even in a comatose state and therefore wasn't consciously aware of how much pain she was in.
@@haute03 One can only hope...
Adrenaline will have helped her with pain initially and then I presume she will have passed out due to her injuries and pain level. Hopefully anyway. 🙏😞
she got pickaxed 😭😭
@@yhmanwag1 source?
I like how there was no judgement in his tone at all, but rather respect for people who've been through a hard time
"there is no judgement in his tone " he is not the state executioner you know !
were you expecting him to be a bastard for some reason..?
@@ppppppqqqppp don’t you know humans are judgmental
Thanks so much
@@sweethartia judgmental how?
This man is a beautiful example of taking the ugliest parts of society and finding a way to find a light. He wants to help those who survive a tragedy, he’s inspired to spread love and positivity. He’s inspired myself and hopefully others to be a better family member or friend. God bless him and those he touches.
He seems like the most honest straight to the point person I have ever seen. He also seems so calm and funny. I admire him and would love to have him as a friend. He is amazing to do what he does. It takes a special kind of person, even if He started just for the money. He’s so honest.
The fact that the woman wasn't doing anything about maggots falling on her customers in the change rooms from the "dead rat" in the roof is as shocking to me as the reality! 😣
Why did she need to scream about it tho? Seems redundant.
I can remember our neighbours cat that died up our ceiling same thing happened when it starts to rot and smells all over our kitchen had to demolish our ceiling cause maggots starts falling from the small gaps of our plywood ceiling they are huge same size of a toddlers pinky finger it was horrifying and sad at the same time not knowing the cause ot its death.
Lord. I couldn't avoid the gag reflex listening.
@@joshweller6537 hey, we've never encountered anything like that, dont we, i dont even know how id react
"Excuse me, there seems to be maggots in your changing rooms?" "Agh, don't worry - it's just the dead rat." 😂🐀
I want him to start a podcast, detailing the horrors of his job. He has the voice and the stories!
Me too!
Ye
yeah I was getting really into this! Way too short. He has 20 years of great stories that I want in my imagination haha.
the horrors AND the pleasures )
Sure, him describing the gore and human tragedy he sees every day would be a real blast!
I went to a career counselor when I finished college and he said " Rick. There's 2 ways to make a lot of money. Do something most people can't do. And doing something most people won't do." Guy knew what he was talking about.
What a nice fella, he's really strong for not being overly affected by these experiences

“She screamed and didn’t realise what was going on...but it was great for us we get two places to clean up, the shop and the flat” a man after my own heart 😂 a true hustler
I laughed at that too!
hahahaha I really hoped to see this comment! Cheers man. Much appreciated
He cleaned 10 years worth of grime in a house in ONE day! That's impressive
i’ve deep cleaned a someone’s house and it took me 6 hours. then this guy did 10 YEARS worth of what i cleaned, but he did it in a DAY??! and 6 hours was fast for a deep clean of that house. this guys the flash or something i stg
It's easily doable for trained professionals.
@@emmettkasey1087 I don't think he did it alone.
@@emmettkasey1087 I’m gearing myself to deep clean my room and I’m dreading it and it’s just in need of a proper spring clean so not anything major. Mainly sorting through my clothes. I’m DREADING it! 😩😑
He had help, but still! I spent 12 hours deep cleaning a small 1 bedroom place, including steam cleaning carpets.
What a nice guy! What a strange job! It's somehow comforting that someone like him is putting goodness back into a bleak situation.
That's a great way of describing it!
He speaks so respectfully and sensitively about all the people that passed away
Imagine a maggot falling on you while you were changing, Holy shit, I would lose it.
Me too. Despise them 🤢🤮
My shit would turn white!
"Sorry about the maggots, think it's a dead rat or something"
Lol. I was thinking the same thing! Pretty sure they would get a bad yelp review with that clothing store😂. “ cute clothes, but watch for the falling maggots!!!”
@Dicky burns Imagine being judging people on internet
"His foot fell off, but sadly I had to put it back on" Its funny and disgusting at the same time.
i was eating cereal and milk came out of my nose LMAO
lol
😂
his nonchalant tone added to the effect , like anyway " I put it back for the scene photo".. 🙃
nothing worse than smelly feet lol.
He seem so compassionate towards the victims and their families he is a good person for this tough job
3 days that poor woman bled out, only to die on the way to the hospital. Very heartbreaking indeed 😢
If he would’ve talked about cleaning windows for 15 minutes straight, I’d probably listen to it.

These folks are a different breed. As a cop, I attended many suicides. One, in particular, a fellow had wrapped his lips around a .303 Lee Enfield and pulled the trigger. He was sitting up against a wall and nothing was left of his head except for his lower jaw, which looked as if it was made of play-doo and seemed to have stretched out 18 inches wide. Anyhow, a suicide note was found (girlfriend dumped him) and the Medical Examiners office had cleared the scene after confirming it was an unsuspicious suicide, and I was left waiting for the cleanup crew. They arrived in button-up shirts and ties! Put on gloves and proceeded to walk around and collect up the dozens of pieces of skull, brain and skin as nonchalantly as if they there were picking up cigarette butts from their front yard....and the pieces were upstairs, downstairs...everywhere...as the head exploded with massive force and the parts ricocheted off of everything. Afterwards, they brought a stretcher in, loaded the poor guy, and were done. In and out in 30 minutes. This was about 04:00 in the morning. I asked these guys what they got paid, expecting it to be in the thousands....Like, seriously, who would willingly wake up in the middle of the night to perform such a task for less than 4 figures? The answer was about $100 (20 years ago)....they said they made the same for this type of job as they would if they had simply recovered a deceased from a nursing home....that they had to take the good with the bad to retain the government contract. Thereafter, whenever I thought my job was sucking, I remembered these two chaps. One-in-a-hundred thousand..... Gosh bless them.
hope they get paid more nowadays... i wouldnt bat an eye if they can earn thousands from a clean up. they SHOULD earn more...
Bless them indeed! I can't even imagine having to do that job, seriously, even if offered one MILLION quid or dollars....seriously (Although, I WOULD, however outsource it to someone who would happily do it for a couple thousand, lol)
Gosh bless them indeed!!
@@cluelessbeekeeping1322 way to ruin the mood "all cops are bad" keep crying as if without the justice system we as a people wont still fuck each other over
@@cluelessbeekeeping1322 Seek help. Virtually all jurisdictions in the USA and Canada offer free mental health assessment and treatment. There is no shame in doing so. Life is to short too live with an untreated, life destroying affliction. Best of luck.
he seems to be exactly the sort of person who is best for this type of career, so calm and rooted
Wow, he has a psyche made of steel. He's really in peace with himself to not only do but really love this job.
As a Funeral Director, now retired, I attended many similar scenes Ben describes. It was fascinating to hear you speak Ben. We were often second or third on the scene after the Ambulance service and the Police and would remove the deceased. I never really thought about who would clean up afterwards, so thank you for your insight. I have great respect for yourself and your colleagues and for all the services that do such a difficult and ultimately rewarding job.
That's so kind of you. Thank you to everyone embracing difficult work like this - you are not unseen, nor unappreciated.
Thanks so much
Seriously, this guy should just make a YT channel telling his stories and experience.
I bet he has a tonne of interesting stories to tell
There’s a channel called Spaulding Decon who does similar xx
Theres afew youtube crime scene cleaners
@@beaucaspar3990 IKR 😝
There is a Dutch channel with English subs called the Frisse Kater
These people really are quite exceptional beings. Years ago I had a fire at home and whilst the only injury was to a friend who gashed his arm helping my two young children to safety we learned the clean-team sent by the insurers were the same people who also clean up really gruesome situations. They didn’t say too much but what they did describe was pretty stomach churning. And from that day forth I’ve always held all cleaners in the highest regard. Very skilled. And very, very respected 🙏🏻
I’ve done this job. I was in the army reserves as a medic and as messed up as it is, I wanted experience around carnage just in case we deployed. Medic training is top notch, but nothing is as real as real life. Most of my jobs were suicides. It was sad to see people from the poorest to wealthy in a place where the ended their lives. RIP
This guy could tell me bedtime stories about this stuff. His voice is so insanely calming.

Respect to this man for real..I love how chill He speaks cleanly about his Job..Like someone just doing a very regular job.
What a absolutely fantastic episode. I’d seen it on my feed for sometime now but as I am not crazy about gore of horror, I avoided it. Fortunately as an old man I get pretty bored so I finally watched it. I love how this gentleman was very kind and a humanitarian (in a way). This went to one of my favorites on this channel. Thank You! I wish good health, happiness and all the best to you and yours!
As the saying goes "where there's muck there's money" . Kudos to the man, he's doing something 99.9% of us would flat out refuse to do.
Yeah like if I had to do this and see this constantly...he would probably be cleaning me up too. My brain wouldn't be able to handle it. I have anxiety and depression as is. This man takes one for the whole team.
@@Dana-ki6vs Yup, as someone with depression seeing people’s suicides would be entirely too much for me and hit home. This guy is a hero
Really puts things in perspective with the saying "Another man's trash is another man's treasure" except this time it's his remains and feces.
@@alexmurphy5289 forreal...but to think suicides are just a portion of it..I was watching another video from someone else who is a crime scene cleaner and he said that one guy looked like Sid from ice age because his head was that smashed in. Some people found humor in the reference...and I giggled when I shouldn't have but dark humor is how I cope. You have 2 options: Sulk or Laugh. But we are in agreement I couldn't do this either regardless of how much exposure I would still go crazy because I already have anxiety induced invasive thoughts as is and all I would be thinking about was these people being one of my loved ones and how devastated I would be..like these are peoples loved ones..I am too sensitive for this. No exposure therapy would ever acclimate me.
Having run a crematory for 16+ years, I'm happy that most can't do these sort of jobs...it makes the pay that much better.
I know Ben and I remember him window cleaning in my street all those years ago. He’s worked so hard to get where he is and he still doesn’t stop to this day . Ben and Linzi be proud of yourself guys you’ve done amazing. X

Answer: you can only remove the surface scum, whatever is deeper in the concrete is there until the concrete gets ripped out

It’s heartbreaking stuff, but being a kid so stressed with uni work I can definitely see why someone would think in the moment it was their only out. I’m relieved it sounds like it’s worked, and is a successful preventative measure. Mad respect for this guy.
This man is the definition of a 'Professional'. I would be honoured to have him clean up my body.
I would hope he wouldn't have to clean me to be honest
I hope for you (when the time comes as it will inevitably come for all of us) to not require cleaning... Bodies that need this are ones in the midst of decomposition or ones that caused too much damage to be simply moved when pronounced dead so I don't wish this on anybody honestly lol

Society's reaction to the horrors in their midst in a nutshell.
Yeah, like...why? That dude.
Whoever did that was a person of some commitment. To do something so horrific, so utterly insane, you’d have to have a will of iron.
@@NoahNelson-Smith You'd have to be nuts or full of drugs.
Lmfao
Excellent video, top to bottom. He seems so genuinely human and respectful in regards to what he’s talking about, and the questions asked were absolutely spot on. You’ve done it again, Lad.
He has such a soothing voice.
For everyone that has been watching this, you're lucky. It's a sign for us to stay positive, stable, and humble
Lol eat one
@dev null people like you are whats wrong with the world
Heart of gold, stomach of stone. Great chap.
such a kind, compassionate and reflected person. I think he is doing a really hard job with so much professionalism and heart. I am so grateful for those families that this guy is around.
What a nice well rounded guy. Very respectful and takes his work seriously. Take a special person to do that kind of work. Kudos to you my friend..!
He kind of looks like Gordon Ramsey. On a more serious note, I haven't been this captivated listening to someone tell their story in a really long time. He is a great narrator and his experiences are certainly unique. I would love to hear more from him.
I thought it was Gordon Ramsay too at first glance!
Thanks so much
I agree…As horrific as his encounters have been, I weirdly fell asleep listening to him speak. He has such a calming voice
Absolutely ..I see his facial resemblance to Ramsey very strongly ! This guy is so.zen like ,calm and pilute he could do old Gordon the power of good ...watched that Kitchen Nightmare show last night and he acts like a sociopathic brat ! 😂
I really love these ‘minutes with’ videos! They are very eye opening.
@@Algorithm347 hahahahaha
"This gentleman bludgeoned his wife to death and it was so violent there was literally blood everywhere." Interesting use of the term gentleman there 😅
This and when they call convicted criminals Mr...🤣😂
Thank goodness for people like Ben. I throw up if someone is sick in front of me or I get a whiff of sick. What a mess this world would be in if there wasn't people like him about. Much respect to you!
This man just seems like a very real guy. Respect.
He’s def not a pigment of our imagination.... or is he ?
Thanks so much
@Queen Moon lol didn't even notice they till I read your comment
FINALLY!! Hats off to YOU!! *I am a former crime scene photographer* and it is not an easy burden on families (especially with suicides), when they realize that the police do not clean it up for them. Back in those days, I dated a man who's maternal uncle committed suicide. Yes the county coroner removed his uncle, but that was it. Cleaning up fell on the family and no one wants to do that. At least I was able to give them several names to call.
I've never thought about it before, how awful for the loved ones.
@@MissOrchid12 I think, personally, that this is one of the reasons suicide is considered selfish and inconsiderate to loved ones. *_Not_*_ the clean-up._ *The experience as a whole.* That job changed me in ways I did not expect, and decades later.

@@OfficialMyxomatosis see but this is the problem wherein lies alot of people's reasons for wanting to leave this cold world. Someone is in SO much pain everyday that it would actually override the natural fear we all have of death and they ACTUALLY reason with themselves that dying is the only option.....and all people can think about is how unfair and selfish it is to THEM? Maybe if people cared more for each other or noticed when something was seriously wrong w a loved one , it would never get bad enough to where they actually acted on their suicidal ideations. Just a thought !
@@luxbrumalis823 completely agree. suicide is not selfish, it is a desperate act. society is selfish for not seeing the suffering people feel to even consider taking their own lives
Thank you for your services rendered to the deceased and their families 💕💖. I've seen a whole lot of death in my 44 years and compassion for the dead really does make a difference in how the family accomplishes some sort of closure. I had to go in and clean up my brother's apartment after he overdosed and laid there dead for 3 days and that really wasn't good for me mentally. It really was very hard emotionally to identify him right before cremation but I am very grateful that for the most part,he just looked like he was sleeping but his eyes were sunken in and that's when I knew for sure that his soul had really left his body 😔💔
He seems like he really cares, considering how he wanted it for quick cash, and now he can speak, but speaks so respectfully about it all, incredible guy.
This is the kind of person you want cleaning such horrific scenes. The level of respect he has is admirable!
He delivered responses so respectfully. For a job like that, that we are all morbidly curious about he was so well spoken.
He's very respectful and sensitive considering all he has seen, much respect to him!
This is so great, a true hero for humanity. My brother was stabbed many many many times in his abdomen by an ex in his sleep and cut his femoral artery and then stabbed herself, miraculously both survived she is unfortunately on the streets after a criminally insane hospital stay of only 9 months then released which is terrible and my brother has to still 30 years later deal with the trauma. My parents are morticians and cleaned his whole apartment which they said was the worst murder scene they have ever seen, working for a giant city also one of my parents was the city coroner so that says a lot. They did not want him to come home to that because he couldn’t move places because he was in the military. Thank you kind sir, you are giving a very scarce healing blessing that come from death to the families to reduce trauma and ptsd after the unthinkable.
The last part where he talks about society seeming to be worse was interesting.
Society is destroying itself more and more every day
My grandparents say times are worse then they can remeber
@@kevinbartley9731 there definitely not wrong
@@kevinbartley9731 No country for old men
Social media is one of the major factors, as well as the overall system of being forced into education more times than not into a subject you didn’t know existed when you were a kid with dreams
His right ear is dormant in the shadows, starved in the darkness, like an exotic flower. However, his left ear has been struck by a beam of light and has pinged out and is in its full rosy bloom. Glorious!
Ha ha - brilliant !
the cinematography is really good
😍
His head is the planet Mercury
Lol this comment is hilarious
Thank you very much. It takes a very special person to do something like this gentleman. He shows a lot of empathy for those close to the deceased and I'm sure is a better way person for that. God bless him.
These are very interesting to watch. Not only learning about a taboo topic/job but also a individual’s perspective who’s involved.
Such a gentleman and softly and well spoken. He gives the dead dignity under such horrific circumstances.
Thanks so much
This man has earned every penny he’s made in his life.
Awesome interview! I've always wondered. I appreciate the personal perspectives and insight. Thank you.
What a lovely bloke, his sensitivity to people's terrible situations is palpable. Great video 👍
met this guy 20 years ago in aberystwyth university, where he gave a similar talk to students, his experiences have stayed in my mind all these years. happy he still well and doing this important work.
This man has my utmost respect for what he does. It takes a very special kind of person to do what he does.
Why’s this guy so calm this whole interview so calm and collected
What a graceful gentlemen for an unruly profession… this was the most honest and coolest interview with a simple but extraordinary soul
