WEBVTT - Danielle Calls a Funeral Home

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Don't answer the phone, Elvis durand the Elvis durand phone tappen.

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 2>All right, I guess today's phone tap is very self explanatory.

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:08.960
<v Speaker 2>But let me give you just a little bit of background.

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:12.879
<v Speaker 2>Danielle plays the wife of a dead guy. She's the

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 2>widow and she's grieving over the loss of her husband,

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 2>but she has one last request for the funeral home.

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:22.439
<v Speaker 2>Let's listen in.

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 3>Funeral, Yes, Hi, I have a couple of questions about

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 3>possibly having a funeral at your funeral home. My husband

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.880
<v Speaker 3>actually passed away yesterday and I actually have a very

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 3>odd request, and people have been telling me that I'm crazy,

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.519
<v Speaker 3>But is there a way that before the viewing of

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 3>the body, you could cut my husband's unit off and

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 3>I can take it home with me?

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 4>Can you hold on one moment? Sure?

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 3>Thanks?

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 4>Did I hear that?

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Hi, I actually called a few minutes ago, and this

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 3>really nice woman with help me. My husband had passed

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 3>away yesterday. I called about twenty different funeral homes just

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 3>to ask if it was possible, before the viewing of

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 3>my husband's body, if I could cut my husband's unit

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 3>off and I can take it home with me. Okay,

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 3>my husband was only thirty nine years old, and he

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 3>died of a heart attack. And it's kind of like

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 3>the only thing I have left. Okay, if I was

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 3>to come in and do it myself, and I didn't

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 3>know how I could do that, whether I'd have to

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 3>bring in a baggie with me, whether it would need

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 3>to be put in formaldehyde, how I would be able

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.400
<v Speaker 3>to cut it off, what looks.

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 4>Well if it's at the time, as long as it's

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.040
<v Speaker 4>only time we embomb him, right then it'll be bombed,

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.959
<v Speaker 4>so you wouldn't need distort it from mouth to tacks.

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 3>But has this ever been done? Has anyone ever happened?

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Do you understand, though, why this is something that I'd

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 3>want done?

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 4>I can understand.

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean I don't. I don't know what else to do,

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 3>what else to save. And I haven't even told my

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 3>family because I know they're going to think I'm crazy.

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 4>So what is it? You wouldn't want to tell them?

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 4>If you're going to do this, you wouldn't want to,

0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, involve everybody.

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 3>And I figured that since the body is usually fully

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 3>clothed and it's it's when it's viewed, nobody would know.

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 4>Nobody would tell her.

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 3>When it's embombed. Does that mean that it would remain

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 3>in a stiff position, it would be sick?

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it would remain, It would remain preserved.

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Can I take it out or is it something that

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 3>I need to keep in a bag?

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 4>I never thought about about storing anything. I would imagine

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 4>you would need to keep that in a some kind

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 4>of container. Right. You know who would be able to

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 4>tell you? Would be our embomber? Oh, he would our

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 4>Obama happens to be a female.

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 3>She is she around? Is it possible for that? I

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 3>should talk to her.

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 4>Hold on a minute. Let me see if I can

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 4>get her on a two way call it.

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Thank you very much?

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 4>Hello Gary? All right? Can you hear her?

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Hi?

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Hi Jerry. My name is Mary Anne. I was

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 3>explaining to the gentleman that since you were the embomber,

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 3>that you might be able to answer some questions that

0:02:58.120 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 3>I have.

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>What kind of question? Have not help?

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 3>I had actually asked him if it was possible to

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 3>cut my husband's unit off and save it. And it's

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 3>kind of like the only thing I have left? Is

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 3>this something that I would need formaldehyde for it?

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>If I wanted to keep it, you would have to

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 1>have some type of a solution that would be a preservative.

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>What would just keep it in?

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know if I could keep it in a

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 3>plastic bag.

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>If I needed to keep it in a jar, you

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>would probably have to have a field container.

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 4>He's also wanting if it could be used, if you know,

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 4>if it could be if it would be usable, and

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 4>that's why we called you.

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I would highly doubt it.

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean because he had said that if it was embalmed,

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 3>it would always be stiff.

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>No, because it's not attached to anything, and I would

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I would not recommend it because you would have to

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>use some type of a conservative solution, and that's not

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>something you would want to have the immediate contact with.

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 3>Is it something that you could mount? Maybe because you

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 3>know how some times they stuffed animals after.

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't see that's something you would have to get

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>a tax to germist. Okay, now that might be a

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>possibility that attack the germists want to step this point.

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Is it something I can use if they did that, ma'am.

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, And then I that's a question I

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>can't answer.

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 3>And then the taxidermists could stuff it. Then could I

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:21.040
<v Speaker 3>mount it?

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine. So, but those questions the taxi the

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>ermists would have to address because they could tell you

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>whether or not they would do it, could do it,

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>or would be willing to do it, and then they

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>could tell you what their preservation procedures would be after

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 1>they've done whatever they're going to do.

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 3>And do you, I mean, is this something you would do?

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:39.720
<v Speaker 3>Would you save your husband?

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I'd keep my memories.

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 3>You just keep your memory.

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I keep my memories and move.

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 4>On, all right.

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 3>All right, I think I'm gonna I'm gonna rethink think

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 3>it because people keep telling me that I'm crazy. So

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to talk to my sister about it and

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 3>make my decision and then, you know, figure out what

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 3>to do. But I want to thank you for your

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:57.160
<v Speaker 3>health because you've been very.

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.919
<v Speaker 1>Helpful, no problem, and you take care and I wish you.

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Thank you very much. Take care, all right, I'm the
