About the event
About this course:
Joe Grimm has a passion for the mortuary services side of the industry, and for embalming. With over two decades of experience in the funeral industry, he serves funeral homes across the state and country through Mountain Mortuary Service, LLC, and is committed to providing industry-leading service to everyone who relies on him and his staff.
This course and its sequel provide funeral professionals with a comprehensive understanding of how to prepare, preserve and present decedents specifically for the purpose of transporting. Embalming for transport introduces unique challenges, temperature changes, movement, time delays, purge risks, leakage, and presentation concerns that require a higher level of technical skill and professional judgement.
In this course, attendees will explore the additional considerations of embalming for transport and how to address them, blending technical instruction with professional standards to emphasize the importance of presentation, moisture control, cavity treatment, plastics, and positioning, as well as the importance of the embalmer’s role in these cases for both the decedent and the receiving funeral home.
