Embalming Embalmers License

Embalming In the spirit of Halloween, loyal reader Ben Clark submitted this embalming license issued by the State of Texas in 1952.

Embalming is spooky. Nonetheless, somebody's got to do it.

As for me, I'll take the route Springsteen prescribes in "Cadillac Ranch"...When I die, throw my body in the back and drive me down to the junkyard in my Cadillac...

That way, the only fluid I'll require is gasoline.
