Hello again deathlings!
This video is LONG, maybe the longest video I've ever put up on the channel. So far the comments are very positive, but several people have said "I'm unsubscribing because you talked about sex." I beli...

You all are a VERY death knowledgable bunch, and I figured you probably have known, and maybe even collected post mortem photographs for years! So I didn't just want to do a general video on the subject.
But, I think this is a unique, m...

Starting 2017 off right– with questions on backyard burial, cannibalism, famous corpses, and more.
I mean what I said at the end of the video, I really am trying to put out more content this year. Both here on the ol' webseries and on the Order o...

Oh, darlings, buckle up for this one.
It just went live and there is already such strong opinions on both sides of this issue. Sometimes it's easier to do videos where people just respond, "this is interesting, thanks for the video!" Bu...

For your viewing pleasure, a twisted tale of the man who DARED try to scam our funeral home out of artisanal seagrass caskets (yes, that's actually what happened). That's all you get, no more spoilers!
I know it's been a dark time ...

Hello Deathlings!
If you only follow me on Patreon, this may be the first video you've seen from me this month. In fact, after the election results came in, I made a video about Trump's use of death fear and rhetoric to win the US election. Y...

Allo Patrons!
On deck today: open eye wakes and body farms! And a book recommendation. Do you like the book recommendations? I might make that a more regular feature. What books have you been reading lately (deathy or otherwise)?&nb...

I'm am loving these morbid history videos. I have new Ask a Morticians planned, but they got bumped because I was so obsessed with Douglas the damn camel that I had to film this before anything else.
By the way, if you have any obscur...

We're always looking for more ways to be death positive. And sometimes, there is nothing better than just a good old fashioned afternoon in a cemetery, taking in the culture, history, and (sometimes outrageous) headstones of a particular place....

Well, my deathlings. First, a bizarre story.
Last month, I made two videos. I posted them on Patreon, along with a blooper reel. Pretty typical month in ol' Ask a Mortician-land. I was gone the last part of August in New ...

Hi all,
I had never heard of this bizarre (but adorable) bit of folklore. But as soon as I did, my first thought was "that's a Morbid Minute right there."
I filmed again last night (twice, the first time was blurry *smas...

Hello deathlings,
Back to my nitty gritty behind-the-scenes video of yore. I realized I've never fully explained how mouths are closed during body preparation. Many people think "super glue" which, yes, is sometimes used to close ...
This is one of the most asked questions I get here at the ol' mortician show, "How do I become an alternative mortician?" As it turns out, the answer isn't so simple– yet. Perhaps one day it will be, but for now, everything is made up and the...

Patrons! Hello! Yoohoo, I see you there gorgeous.
I'm really proud of this video. I had a question ("wait, what happened to all the Titanic bodies?") and then I had the ability to go on a deep dive (no Titanic pun intended) research binge...

Back at it once again, answering the questions no one is asking. Petrifaction not Putrefaction!

See! I told you I would make up for my lack of videos last month.
Let me know if you like this format of answering a bunch of shorter questions in a video. Consensus so far seems to be that people like a combination of one topic videos, m...

Hello deathlings. Why if it isn't your SECOND video already this month. (I know I shouldn't get tons of credit but still!– a promise is a promise).
This is one of my favorite videos I've done in awhile. I find bog bodies so fascinating,...

Yes, it may be the end of the month, but it's still February, folks. My promise of delivering two videos a month still stands. Huzzah!
