Chapter 153: Funeral Factory
One of the two buildings in the entire funeral home is the funeral home, which is responsible for carrying out wakes, condolences, memorial services and other businesses, and the coffin is filled with wreaths, which can also be regarded as a service center. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info and the other is the legendary place where the cremation of corpses is located, which is considered the center of business. There are also a lot of staff here, I am not familiar with the service center, their work clothes are different from ours, there are responsible for sales negotiations, there are responsible for planning activities, etc., whether it is the office environment or the salary is higher than ours, after all, the threshold is also high, generally will not recruit people casually.
And the living on our side rarely come, and even if they do, they come with the dead, and the buildings here are relatively large, because there are many corpses to be stored, and there are more positions. There are those who are responsible for pretending to pick up corpses, there are those who are responsible for taking care of corpses, there are those who are responsible for beautifying corpses, there are those who burn corpses, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous things, etc., I am also doing miscellaneous things to put it bluntly with the sea, because we can't do anything else, in short, all of them are dealing with dead people.
The work of the funeral factory has been very busy these days, and there have been some disasters not long after we came here, resulting in a lot of deaths at once. The corpses were placed in the corpse cabinets, each with a number, and even when the corpse was cremated, it would be opened and reconfirmed, and all the corpse cabinets were on the basement level, with an elder in charge of the keys. Now that the corpse cabinet is full, some of the corpses are displayed in the hall, covered with a white cloth. What caught my attention was that there were five corpses lying in the corner of a wall, these corpses were exactly the same clothes as the desolate corpse I met on the mountain, it seemed that the corpse chasers had brought all the corpses here, and there was even a corpse wearing a military uniform, why would a soldier line up with the corpses of these ordinary people, could it be that they were all brought by the corpse chasers? Since these corpses had just arrived, they had not yet had time to cover them with cloths, and they happened to be seen by me.
"Hey, don't look at it, you two will go to the back to help clean up the corpse furnace, and the cremation of the corpse will start soon."
"Oh, okay."
One of the stewards saw the two of us staring at the corpse and hurriedly told us to go to work, for them, it was not strange to deal with corpses for many years, they were much more psychologically tolerant than ordinary people. I'm thinking, the whole funeral factory system is still quite standardized, so why peel the skin, cremation is just to remove the clothes or something, and the skin will not be so cruel, and before the cremation, the family will visit the last side of the corpse, so before the cremation, it will never be peeled, and even the belt bones will be burned to ashes after cremation, so a simple analysis, the skinners must have done it before the body was ready to be cremated and entered the corpse refining furnace, and the time was not much different, but how did he hide people's eyes? Skinning is a technical job, and if you are not careful, you will damage the corpse, and there will be a lot of flesh and blood in it, how can it be cleaned up in a short period of time? With doubts, I entered the corpse refining room.
The corpse furnace is not complicated, it is similar to the kind of boiler we are used to, but it is much larger, and when burning, the bones of the corpse are usually broken with a hammer, and the corpse of the person is broken, and gasoline is injected into it to push it forward, and after it is burned to ashes, it is cleaned out with a broom and put into the urn.
"You two clean up the stove, and there will be a body for cremation first."
The foreman here handed us a broom and a shovel. Maybe we just came to work, so they didn't plan to let us touch the corpses in the first place, they just asked us to do some cleaning work, and we were really kind of like sweepers after changing into work clothes. There are a row of corpse furnaces, there are more than a dozen, we start cleaning from the far left, I take a shovel to pull out the lumpy fuel burned inside, and the sea then uses a broom to clean the inside, although now there are special paper coffins wrapped around the burned corpses, one is helpful for burning and the other is for collecting ashes, but after all, this stove is not a one-time one, and no one wants to stick to the ashes of other corpses. The foreman requirements are still relatively strict, and the salary will be deducted if the inspection is unqualified. Of course, the two of us don't care about this salary, and it won't be worth it if we fire us because of this.
"Woo woo woo ......"
"Who!"
I was talking to the sea at about the same time, when we were cleaning the furnace when we suddenly heard a woman's cry from inside the furnace. I immediately looked down and looked inside, there was nothing, even if I opened my eyes, I didn't see anything, but it wasn't just me who heard the sound, the sea also heard it, so it couldn't be an illusion, so what was it in this corpse furnace?
"Maybe it's not a ghost in the first place, but if it's a ghost, you should be able to see it when you open your eyes."
"The corpse refining furnace burns all kinds of corpses all year round, and there must be a lot of resentment accumulated in it, and it is probably reasonable to say that two voices occasionally come from it."
"Hey! How's you two cleaning? ā
At this time, the foreman outside began to supervise again.
"Two more will be good right away."
"Forget it, don't worry about it, come out and help transport the corpse!"
The corpse was transported so quickly? Okay, I'd like to see the whole process of refining corpses, I've only heard about it before but I've never seen it with my own eyes. Even family members won't let you watch from the sidelines easily. So this opportunity is also rare.
We walked out, only to see the foreman and a few colleagues from the outside pushing two corpses into the hall, these two corpses had just arrived, and they were not covered, I was surprised when I saw the sea, these two corpses were none other than the two old men who died after we took down the lantern last night!
"Why are you stunned, hurry up and push forward!"
We took the cart and pushed it towards the morgue, didn't these two old men just die, although they had no other relatives in the village, but there was no need to be cremated so soon, it was a little strange.
Pushed to the morgue room, someone came over to help undress. I saw that they took off their shoes first and then untied their shirts, and finally pulled their pants, and the underwear inside was pulled casually, and the people who had just returned to their clothes became naked in an instant. They undressed the dead very quickly, almost violently, and the corpses did not feel pain anyway. The old man's corpse looked fine, but the old grandmother's corpse ...... Forget it, I'm a serious person. These people are probably also very eye-catching, and they must have seen the bodies of many beautiful women, but they can't avoid many corpses festering, so don't envy them. (To be continued.) )
