Jessica Mitford " Enbalming in The U.S.A."

In Jessica Mitford's story, it is talking about the process of how morticians work in the enbalming business and the comfort ability of Americans and how they are comfortable watching surgery shows in their family living rooms. Unfortunately, the author is in shocked in how Americans feel comfortable with this subject since she is British. In her story, she describes the process that people that work in funerals do. First, the mortician takes the body and it is laid out in the preparation room. The preparation room is a room that is filled with equipments that are used for the "patient". This "patient" is called Mr. Jones. This room is filled with scissors, scalpels and forceps. After the " surgery" is over, the mortician applies special makeup on the "patient" to make the "patient "better physically before he is cremated or buried.After that process is done, Mr. Jone's veins are being drained out and are being replaced by enbalming fluid. After that step is done, Mr. Jones goes through a device called a trocar which is being attached through his stomach. After he is having makeup check on the face, he is going to be located inside a casket. I think this story was very realistic yet graphic.
