Multitasking is what it's all about in this month's podcast - love it or hate it, we decided to record a chat while Tracy was colouring Trish's hair - the result is insightful, yet unfortunately there's a bit of rattly noise from the foils and the plastic gloves Tracy is using. If you can hear past the sounds of hairdressing, you will get a glimpse into what it's like day to day working as a mortician and the types of things you need to do, to get the job done and prepare the deceased for their family to have a final goodbye.
We've been lax on the podcast recording in the past few months - it's always a challenge for us to get together to do these recordings, so we thought multitasking was the best option, plus who doesn't want to feel like a fly on the wall when there's a bit of girl chat going down?
If you want a visual, this episode has been published on our YouTube channel.
Til next time, (hopefully next month)
stay safe,
T&T xx

Welcome to our January podcast!

We have a chat about some fairly heavy concepts in this episode so please we warned - graphic content ahead. But we'll ease you into it with some talk about different cultures and religions and the way they approach death, as well as the role of a general mortician/embalmer in cultural preparations.

But deathcare is like that - most of the time it's caring for old people who have lived many, many decades on this planet, but unfortunately younger people die too and sometimes in horrific accidents - it's our job to care for them all with dignity and respect.

These deaths are often harder for us in the industry mentally and, as you will hear in this episode, sometimes physically as well.

We hope you learn something from our chat - if nothing else we just want people to be able to access information about what happens behind the mortuary doors to inform and empower them to make the best decisions possible with less fear when the time comes - We know our podcast is not for everyone, but death will touch us all.

If you have any questions about this pod or something else, contact us on email or insta and oh, yeah - apologies for the dodgy sound at the very end of this recording - we lost the end of the master file and patched the last minutes together using back up audio.

Til next time,
stay safe,
T&T

Hi folks,

It's been a while since we have produced a pod, but we are back this week with a fascinating interview with Zenith Virago, who has advocated, informed and educated people on the possibilities for wholistic death care for more than 30 years.

Zenith founded the Natural Death Care Centre in northern NSW, Australia and compiled a series on in-person and online trainings for Deathwalkers - those who want to be better equipped to deal with death - their own, or the death of those around them.

We will post some videos featuring our discussion with Zenith on our YouTube channel, so if you enjoy this pod, be sure to head there for more.

We hope you enjoy,
T & T x
