still beautiful

oh no the lost chair what's with the broom ?

A lonely chair with a red tag? Must be a first.

Ohhh... yes - of course - thank you ALL!
Yes, makes sense - just never thought about /all/ that.

Wish i HAD a map.
(Google Earth is NOT a map, hahaha.)

Sorry to double post. It is very important to document exactly what was done with personal effects. There have been lawsuits over lost dentures in the past. Mostly about maintaining usual appearance of the deceased at the funeral service.

Most hospital policies for post mortem care require that patients existing wrist band, This tag is stamped with the patients charge plate, one on the toe, one on the outside of the shroud. Often times these tags are also applied to dentures, eye glasses, or hearing aids and enclosed in the shroud with the deceased. This is handled according to the families choice. Some families take these items to the mortuary. Some just want them sent along with the deceased.

@ money ~ I hope you meant to type "What". . . that said, this is really cool. I would have had a hard time leaving that behind.

regular clothing store mannequins had holes in their feet so you could put the pole from the stand through there so (s)he could stand up. I know this from my window dressing days. Usually the hole was in the butt (no, really) which was annoying sometimes trying to position and dress these. I used to draw crowds when I was changing windows trust me! Sometimes the smaller ones, like for children's wear, had them in the feet, I suppose it depended on the manufacturer.

or other body part

this is too gruesome to think about. . . but still cool

I'd like to have an embalming table in my dining room for those intimate candlelight suppers

That looks like an old DOS monitor to me but I could be wrong. I wouldn't mind having this in my bathroom at home, that is if it could even fit in there.

I worked there two different times, lived within a few miles of there I all my life. I knew many many people who worked there as most of my neighbors and relatives spent years working there. Yes there were people who used a abusive amount of strength, but they were dealt with. The majority of people who worked there loved their work and really cared for the residents. I just hate when I read only of the ones who banged heads and abused the residents. There was a great amount of good that was done there and the residents were cared for, fed, medicated and yes protected. I still live here and my heart aches when I drive by and it is all just gone.

I did an image search for "embalming table" and it wasn't all that work friendly so pulled the eject handle as I'm in a fairly new job. (they might forgive looking at abandoned site photos, but yeah- corpses not so much probably) Good question.
