Episode 23 Ask the Embalmer

On this special mid-week episode of The Bonus Material Podcast, we have an interview with one of our own, Thom Carnell. Thom is a graduate of the San Francisco College of Mortuary Science and worked as an embalmer in funeral homes for many years. This interview is indicative of the "Ask an Embalmer" panels Thom does - and is available for - at conventions. This interview was conducted a year or so ago, but the content isn't time sensitive. It was conducted by Catia C of Zed Presents... Publishing. This one gets heavy and even the interviewee has a tough time holding it together. Yes, on this episode of The Bonus Material Podcast we answer the questions people have about what it's like "behind the veil" at a funeral home.
