Funeral home makeup, how to make up for the dead in a funeral home

Divided into natural death and unnatural death

1: If you die normally, you usually spray disinfectant on the face of the body first, and then wipe your face with cotton, which saves you from cleaning your face Then apply foundation, trim your beard, thrush, and color, which is similar to normal, the main thing is to make the pale face of the deceased a little ruddy, so as to facilitate the memorial service and make the family feel better.

2: In case of unnatural death, the more difficult thing is to repair the damage on the face, using plaster and other materials to repair and various suture techniques, and then apply makeup normally after the face is repaired.

Applying makeup to the dead is not as simple as that of the living, and the first thing to do is to pay attention to consumption to prevent the spread of various diseases. Those elderly people usually have uneven faces, and many times need to stuff cotton into their mouths (in fact, whether they are elderly or not, they can always stuff cotton when applying makeup, so as to prevent the smell of corpses from emanating from their mouths and noses), and some people have been completely stiff after death, and their mouths can't be opened and closed, or their eyes can't be closed open, these have to be handled by makeup artists, or massaged, or stitched with needles and threads. There are also some bodies that have been frozen, and makeup is required before they are thawed, so the face is completely ice, which is difficult to handle, and it is easy to cut off the skin if you are not careful when shaving your beard.

If you meet something unrecognizable, or your face is covered with blood, you have to cleanse yourself first, which is not easy.

Besides, I'm afraid you're afraid, anyway, the funeral industry is very hard, especially the front-line employees, who are physically and mentally exhausted every day with these unrecognizable metamorphoses.

I am a funeral professional employee, I have been engaged in embalming and plastic surgery, in retrospect it is a nightmare, don't go to understand it, it is difficult for outsiders to accept!

According to my friend (his father was in that unit), the makeup of a normal dead corpse is not much different. But if it is an unnatural death, it is necessary to find a way to piece the corpse together in a state that is closest to the original state in various ways. For example, if a head is flattened, then you have to find a way to squeeze the flattened head into its original shape and then apply makeup.

If the face is broken, it must be sewn up In short, it must be put in place, even if it is rough, the main thing is to let the deceased go intact It seems that the TV is really powdered, and the eyebrows are painted and the lipstick is melted! Hehe.

According to the freezing of the remains, the remains are generally extracted and thawed the day before the farewell cremation, and then treated with makeup. The specific makeup is no different from ordinary people, but ordinary people focus on maintenance, and pay attention to the serenity and visual effect of the deceased after makeup.

Funeral parlors are public institutions under the civil affairs departments of various regions, set up in cities and towns, and are professional institutions that undertake funeral matters. The funeral parlor consists of a funeral consultation room, a funeral business contact office and a cremation workshop (crematorium) and other departments. The funeral home provides a number of services for the bereaved family, such as transporting the body, providing the venue for memorial activities, cremation, and storage of ashes.

A funeral home is a place dedicated to funerals. Some funeral parlors will also provide related burial services, such as ordering coffins, funeral items, arranging the body, making up the deceased, etc. The facilities in the funeral home include mourning halls of various sizes, lounges, and more.

Public welfare. funeral parlor bìn yí guǎn [funeral parlor].

The funeral parlor is a public welfare funeral institution. Funeral parlors deepen the reform of the system and mechanism, implement the scientific concept of development, promote the development of public welfare undertakings, and further enhance the vitality of public institutions, which is conducive to strengthening the performance of public service duties, improving the public welfare service system, and promoting the equalization of basic public services.

Highlight the public welfare attributes of public welfare institutions, optimize the allocation of resources, promote the healthy development of public welfare undertakings, and continuously meet the needs of the people in funeral services.

The profession of funeral home makeup artist, in fact, is not very mature in China, and the time to enter China is very short, and at present, the profession of funeral artist is not acceptable to everyone, and survival is still a problem.

Although it is a profession that is very worthy of the respect of others to rejuvenate the cold and give the deceased eternal beauty, we also have to face the reality of society, many people do not understand such a profession, and will stay away from friends who are engaged in this industry.

In Taiwan and abroad, such services have been known to the public, but in China such services are still little known to the public, so funeral home makeup artists with related services even need to engage in related salesman work.

If you want to go to the funeral home to work as a makeup artist, you generally need to have the following conditions and requirements:

2.Possess relevant skills and experience, be proficient in makeup skills and equipment, understand skin characteristics and make-up techniques, and know the market dynamics and service methods of deceased makeup.

3.Have a sense of responsibility and service, respect professional ethics and industry norms, pay attention to the protection of personal regret and image, and abide by the safety, health, environmental protection and other systems and requirements related to the post.

4.Have good psychological quality, able to cope with the psychological pressure and challenges brought by extreme sadness, fatigue and other work.

In addition, it is also necessary to understand the recruitment information and requirements of local funeral homes, the specific conditions and requirements will vary, and candidates need to choose and cultivate their professional abilities according to the actual local situation.

This job requires a strong professional foundation to be able to show the best side as much as possible. In many cases, in order to make the repair more realistic, it is necessary to bow down and face the body face to face all the time, and the nearest distance is a few centimeters, which is actually a test of a person's patience and carefulness.

It takes the courage to face your fears.

If you want to do a good job as a makeup artist, you must face your fears. Usually the new funeral makeup artist will be assigned to go out on assignments, such as going to the hospital to pick up the body, going to the crime scene or going to the countryside to pick up the body, which are all opportunities to exercise their courage, but there will also be many unexpected situations. For example, you will see people who are highly decayed, who have died unexpectedly, who have fallen from a building, car accidents, etc., and you need to look directly at the fear of death again and again.

During work, the master will take a period of time, and sometimes at night, he will also take the makeup artist to practice courage. For example, when on duty at night, he went out of the office to patrol, and entered the dressing room to restore the difficult remains. This sense of panic and uneasiness requires a great deal of courage, and it will certainly be scared at first, but then the fear will be replaced by numbness and diluted by habit, and this process will mostly take months to get used to.

On average, 10 bodies are in charge of a day.

In addition to facing your fears, you have to be professional enough, because there is a lot of work and tasks on a daily basis. Normally, 4-6 bodies a day can be made up, but the number can reach more than 10 when you are busy. This requires a makeup artist with excellent professional skills to do it quickly and well.

If it is a difficult body restoration, it is necessary to apply the knowledge of anatomy. Now that 3D printing technology is available, makeup artists will also learn this technology and put it into practice.

Prone to strange eyes.

In addition to the pressure of work, makeup artists also have a lot of pressure in their lives. Because many people still have different views on this profession, they feel "unlucky" and "not optimistic". Therefore, funeral home makeup artists never take the initiative to shake hands with people, never say "goodbye" to people, generally do not go to other people's homes as guests, do not visit seriously ill patients, etc.

Because I am afraid of misunderstanding others in life due to professional reasons, this is indeed a more realistic problem.

The treatment is stable and generous.

However, if these difficulties can be overcome, then the treatment of makeup artists is still very good. After all, the funeral home is a public institution, but there is a big gap in the makeup artist position. In addition to the basic salary + five insurances and one gold, there is also a performance subsidy.

There are also different subsidies according to the amount and difficulty of makeup, and food, housing, shuttles, and work clothes are all solved by the unit. In first-tier cities, it is very common for this profession to have a light salary, and there is a year-end bonus every year, and the overall salary level is relatively high.

First of all, you have a relevant qualification, you must have a certain amount of experience in the hail, and secondly, you have to bend the sails, and I personally feel that you have to have a certain courage to congratulate Qi, and then you can apply.

The most important thing is to also observe the taboo of makeup; And what are the taboos for makeup? Let's take a look!

1. Wear light makeup when working and ensure personal hygiene at any time. When the funeral makeup artist puts on makeup for the deceased, he should not wear heavy makeup, because the deceased's face changes greatly, which is different from the makeup of the deceased; And sometimes your own makeup is too thick, which can bring in a lot of bacteria and unnecessary into the powder room. After the death of the deceased, a lot of changes will occur in the body, after the death of the human body, the metabolism does not function, and after a long time, it will decay, producing various flavors.

4. The makeup speed is fast, and it cannot be repeated over and over again. The deceased must be powdered once, and it cannot be like a living person, and the wrong card powder must be made.

You can remove your makeup and do it again; And the deceased ** is slightly corrupted, and it cannot be painted many times; This requires a relatively high level of ability when applying makeup, requires skilled skills, and also has a certain understanding of the time of death of the deceased.

5. Keep your mouth clean. Makeup artists are not allowed to eat heavy foods such as garlic, smoke, drink, or chew gum while applying makeup.

This is also taboo in funeral makeup, and it is especially disrespectful to the makeup person. And if you are still chewing gum in your mouth when you are putting makeup on the deceased, isn't that disgusting? This practice is something that every funeral makeup artist must abide by. Contraindications to be a qualified funeral make-up artist.

6. Keep both cosmetics and makeup cases clean. The funeral parlor is a very serious and heavy place, full of respect for the deceased, and everything is clean; When a person comes into this world cleanly, he must leave cleanly, and he must not defile the dead; Keeping the makeup and makeup case clean and clean is the greatest respect for the deceased.

Now, more and more people are aware of the existence of funeral makeup artists; However, this is a demanding profession, both professional knowledge and psychological quality are particularly important. Many people who want to engage in this profession are the first thing to do well is psychological quality, and people with poor psychological quality are not recommended to engage in this profession; He will cause us a lot of harm and cause mental illness.

In particular, many girls are not able to find a boyfriend because of this profession, because their expressions and eyes will change a lot because they spend a long time with dead people.
