"I clearly remember how much they looked like themselves when I went to view them at the funeral home... it was horrendous, but I soon got over the wobble and decided to train as a mortician."
"I learned techniques specific to applying makeup to bodies, such as how to use primers to cover discoloration... I started working freelance, going to the funeral directors when they needed me."
"After I had children and got a little older, I realized that I'm proud of what I do... I paint nails. I've even been asked to put fake tan on a body."
"Sometimes, you'll be given a picture from the 1970s and you think, Oh my God, the body in front of me doesn’t look like that at all... the time it takes to do the makeup depends on the person and the state of the body."
