Following on from our first embalming episode with Rhonda's back in 2022, Andy interviews his co-host Joe on the taboo subject of embalming. Joe discusses peoples reactions in the pub, his favourite TV programme to have on in the background, and the modern process of arterial embalming which is the complicated and intricate process of maintaining dignity and slowing down the course of nature. Joe discusses how privileged he feels to be able to embalm, and answers whether or not we embalm if the person isn't being visited in the Chapel of Rest.
