The only two corpses I've seen taken out to the hearse were in/on body-bag stretcher thingies then slid into a compartment inside the bit the coffin rests on.
Strange that, the show was of my era but I don't remember it at all, unlike Captain Pugwash, Noggin the Nog et al.View attachment 35342
A Rubovian Legend was part of my nightmares for years.
The Web, finally, enabled me to put a name to these things. By which time Weatherspoon, or something like him, was all over the land!
Well, they're great for disposing of plastic bags or rubbish, idiot cats* and such, but bodies get wedged in the chute so attract unwanted attention.Isnt that what those shutes in blocks of flats are for haha
Not if you cut them up...er...at least I think so...
Little monkey!
Ummm. I worked in a hospital for several years (in finance office which the closest stairwell went down beside the morgue) and so saw bodies taken out. The hospital would contact the person’s funeral home. The funeral employees (not sure what title would be) would pick up the body (already in a body bag) on the stretcher and set a type of pop up box atop the stretcher and wheel it out to the car.
The bits on which the casket rests are known as “Zubes” -
Ah now, that's a shell. It's used to prevent onlookers from seeing the outline of the corpse on the stretcher.
Mortuary? That's a bit upfront. At our local hospital I am reliably informed that they ring out for Rose Cottage...
Yup but when Bill answers the phone there's no need for euphemisms.
Yeah, if it was me, I'd call it the charnel house.Yup but when Bill answers the phone there's no need for euphemisms.
Umm, has he finished with them ..?
Yeah, I'd call it: "place for all them dead bastards".
That is almost the exact blue!
Nope, I watched him put them back in again and thought one day my teeth would be detachable as well. I used to keep checking, never quite sure when it could happen.
Like when people removed their thumb and made it run up their arm.

My uncle Billy used to do that!Like when people removed their thumb and made it run up their arm.
That reminds me, there is a zoo (cant remember which one) where there is a sign that says 'the most dangerous animal in the world' you look through the window and its a mirror,I have stolen SO MANY toddlers' noses!
There was also a genuine Victorian joke often played on us by our Welsh Gran, born in 1908, who'd had it from her own Gran, born in the 1880s.
She'd hold out a hand and say 'Look at the monkey!' and we'd naturally look, to see ourselves in a little mirror. Gran'd ROAR with laughter.
We ALWAYS fell for it.
I've played that on kids too. Still works.
But doesn't cutting 'em up encourage putrefaction? I mean, leave 'em in bigger bits and they don't decay as quick?
Dunno why but as soon as I read this, I thought another term would be "Walnut nuts*".
My mom used to crush up asprin in jam when we were kids, put me off of jam for years
