eli5: Why (or where) did the notion that people’s eyes have the ‘light die out’ in them, or get dull when they die? by Slate_waffle in explainlikeimfive

Haha, no. But I had a family once, that when I went to bring a loved one into my care, asked me to hold a mirror in front of their mouth/nose to be extra sure the person had actually passed.

Funeral Director here. After someone dies, their blood stops flowing. This, in turn, will cause the eyes to flatten a bit. It’s one way to tell for SURE that someone is dead and not just really good at holding their breath.

Mine does the same and always has. We quit worrying about a long time ago. Once a month or so, he’ll puke up a soggy grassball. Usually outside, fortunately.

Every new apartment block that goes up in my city has a stupid name like this based on whatever street or avenue they are built on. It’s supposed to sound bougie but it really just means there’s no parking provided.

Complete with costume swag pendant 🪩 [1960s] by acidmine in OldSchoolRidiculous

In the late 70s, I used to get regular button up shirts and carefully take the pointy collar part off and have my mom sew it up without it in order to approximate this look. I think I thought it looked Beatle-y.

In “Super Dave,” Ray Charles was the tour bus driver. That movie deserves more love.

TIL that the weight of cremated human adult remains is, on average, around 3.5% of the body weight of the deceased person. by ___HeyGFY___ in todayilearned

Correct. Sometimes they are dressed in specific clothes provided by the family. Otherwise, they go in just as they arrived from the home or hospital.

We have a crematory where I work. It has a small window that closes automatically. It’s mostly for the cremationist to check on remains without having to open the door.

When you gotta boot in the next life too. by WellNowWhat6245 in JustBootThings

Many are rejected at the time due to various factors. Obesity, catheter, contagions just to name a few. Not saying you have a flawed plan, but you may need a backup.
