Speaker 1: Don't answer the phone, Elvis durand the Elvis durand phone tappen.
Speaker 2: All right, I guess today's phone tap is very self explanatory.
Speaker 2: But let me give you just a little bit of background.
Speaker 2: Danielle plays the wife of a dead guy. She's the
Speaker 2: widow and she's grieving over the loss of her husband,
Speaker 2: but she has one last request for the funeral home.
Speaker 2: Let's listen in.
Speaker 3: Funeral, Yes, Hi, I have a couple of questions about
Speaker 3: possibly having a funeral at your funeral home. My husband
Speaker 3: actually passed away yesterday and I actually have a very
Speaker 3: odd request, and people have been telling me that I'm crazy,
Speaker 3: But is there a way that before the viewing of
Speaker 3: the body, you could cut my husband's unit off and
Speaker 3: I can take it home with me?
Speaker 4: Can you hold on one moment? Sure?
Speaker 3: Thanks?
Speaker 4: Did I hear that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Hi, I actually called a few minutes ago, and this
Speaker 3: really nice woman with help me. My husband had passed
Speaker 3: away yesterday. I called about twenty different funeral homes just
Speaker 3: to ask if it was possible, before the viewing of
Speaker 3: my husband's body, if I could cut my husband's unit
Speaker 3: off and I can take it home with me. Okay,
Speaker 3: my husband was only thirty nine years old, and he
Speaker 3: died of a heart attack. And it's kind of like
Speaker 3: the only thing I have left. Okay, if I was
Speaker 3: to come in and do it myself, and I didn't
Speaker 3: know how I could do that, whether I'd have to
Speaker 3: bring in a baggie with me, whether it would need
Speaker 3: to be put in formaldehyde, how I would be able
Speaker 3: to cut it off, what looks.
Speaker 4: Well if it's at the time, as long as it's
Speaker 4: only time we embomb him, right then it'll be bombed,
Speaker 4: so you wouldn't need distort it from mouth to tacks.
Speaker 3: But has this ever been done? Has anyone ever happened?
Speaker 3: Do you understand, though, why this is something that I'd
Speaker 3: want done?
Speaker 4: I can understand.
Speaker 3: I mean I don't. I don't know what else to do,
Speaker 3: what else to save. And I haven't even told my
Speaker 3: family because I know they're going to think I'm crazy.
Speaker 4: So what is it? You wouldn't want to tell them?
Speaker 4: If you're going to do this, you wouldn't want to,
Speaker 4: you know, involve everybody.
Speaker 3: And I figured that since the body is usually fully
Speaker 3: clothed and it's it's when it's viewed, nobody would know.
Speaker 4: Nobody would tell her.
Speaker 3: When it's embombed. Does that mean that it would remain
Speaker 3: in a stiff position, it would be sick?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it would remain, It would remain preserved.
Speaker 3: Can I take it out or is it something that
Speaker 3: I need to keep in a bag?
Speaker 4: I never thought about about storing anything. I would imagine
Speaker 4: you would need to keep that in a some kind
Speaker 4: of container. Right. You know who would be able to
Speaker 4: tell you? Would be our embomber? Oh, he would our
Speaker 4: Obama happens to be a female.
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: She is she around? Is it possible for that? I
Speaker 3: should talk to her.
Speaker 4: Hold on a minute. Let me see if I can
Speaker 4: get her on a two way call it.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much?
Speaker 4: Hello Gary? All right? Can you hear her?
Speaker 2: Hi?
Speaker 3: Hi, Hi Jerry. My name is Mary Anne. I was
Speaker 3: explaining to the gentleman that since you were the embomber,
Speaker 3: that you might be able to answer some questions that
Speaker 3: I have.
Speaker 1: What kind of question? Have not help?
Speaker 3: I had actually asked him if it was possible to
Speaker 3: cut my husband's unit off and save it. And it's
Speaker 3: kind of like the only thing I have left? Is
Speaker 3: this something that I would need formaldehyde for it?
Speaker 1: If I wanted to keep it, you would have to
Speaker 1: have some type of a solution that would be a preservative.
Speaker 1: What would just keep it in?
Speaker 3: I didn't know if I could keep it in a
Speaker 3: plastic bag.
Speaker 1: If I needed to keep it in a jar, you
Speaker 1: would probably have to have a field container.
Speaker 4: He's also wanting if it could be used, if you know,
Speaker 4: if it could be if it would be usable, and
Speaker 4: that's why we called you.
Speaker 1: I would highly doubt it.
Speaker 3: I mean because he had said that if it was embalmed,
Speaker 3: it would always be stiff.
Speaker 1: No, because it's not attached to anything, and I would
Speaker 1: I would not recommend it because you would have to
Speaker 1: use some type of a conservative solution, and that's not
Speaker 1: something you would want to have the immediate contact with.
Speaker 3: Is it something that you could mount? Maybe because you
Speaker 3: know how some times they stuffed animals after.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't see that's something you would have to get
Speaker 1: a tax to germist. Okay, now that might be a
Speaker 1: possibility that attack the germists want to step this point.
Speaker 3: Is it something I can use if they did that, ma'am.
Speaker 1: I don't know, And then I that's a question I
Speaker 1: can't answer.
Speaker 3: And then the taxidermists could stuff it. Then could I
Speaker 3: mount it?
Speaker 1: I would imagine. So, but those questions the taxi the
Speaker 1: ermists would have to address because they could tell you
Speaker 1: whether or not they would do it, could do it,
Speaker 1: or would be willing to do it, and then they
Speaker 1: could tell you what their preservation procedures would be after
Speaker 1: they've done whatever they're going to do.
Speaker 3: And do you, I mean, is this something you would do?
Speaker 3: Would you save your husband?
Speaker 1: I'd keep my memories.
Speaker 3: You just keep your memory.
Speaker 1: I keep my memories and move.
Speaker 4: On, all right.
Speaker 3: All right, I think I'm gonna I'm gonna rethink think
Speaker 3: it because people keep telling me that I'm crazy. So
Speaker 3: I'm going to talk to my sister about it and
Speaker 3: make my decision and then, you know, figure out what
Speaker 3: to do. But I want to thank you for your
Speaker 3: health because you've been very.
Speaker 1: Helpful, no problem, and you take care and I wish you.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. Take care, all right, I'm the
