First Solo Removals

Yes, that is a plural in the title. Today I did my first and second solo removals. Thankfully they were at the local hospice and were less tense than had I been at a family's residence. Everything went smoothly both times, I'm happy to say. The first one I ended up taking directly to the crematory; the second one I brought back to prepare for embalming. I did as much work as I could: I closed the eyes and mouth and got the body ready for embalming. That was as much as I could do without having a supervisor in the room, so I returned home and am waiting for him to call me so we can prepare the body tonight. I love my job.
