Learning to shroud

[steveo1955]

I am beginning a new career as a support worker. We work with nursing staff in hospitals and retirement homes, looking after the sick, and sometimes dying.
Yesterday we in class learned how to shroud a dead body, and how to wrap it up to send to the morgue. I thought about this group when I was there. See, Im thinking of you

Hi, Interesting class. Do they teach you to strip the bodies down? Is anything mentioned about leaking orifices and what to do? Just curious. Thanks for your post.

Yes, we have to clean the bodies up and change them if they voided at death

Aye those handling bodies of dead soldiers due to be transported have to strip and clean them, put a condom on the cock and a wadding up the arse - before being transported naked in a simple shroud / body bag.

Did they use a manikin or a volunteer?

Volunteer, but a woman and fully clothed, not as interesting as you think.But in the future.. who knows?

Volunteer in the Army

Do they still put a condom on the penis? It used to actually be a tight plastic sleeve. I heard they had stopped, but I guess there still must be discharges.

As for closing the penile opening, a drop of SuperGlue (Cyanoacrylate) works great.
