Can I Keep My Grandma's Skull? Mortician Explains

Video Description

I’m Lauren the Mortician, and today we’re going deep — like, bone deep — into one of the strangest, most uncomfortable questions I’ve ever been asked: 👉 Can I just keep my grandma’s skull? In this episode, I break down the legal, ethical, and logistical chaos that comes with trying to keep a human skull after someone dies. We’ll talk body part laws, bone collectors, witchy requests, funeral home horror stories, and why cremated remains are not the place to find a souvenir. We’ll also talk about: • What happens to bones during cremation • Why metal hips can be returned but not skulls • True crime-level cases of body part trafficking • My professional opinion as a funeral director (spoiler: it’s a hard no) 💀 This one is weird, wild, and very real. Subscribe for more morbid mythbusting, behind-the-scenes funeral facts, and all the strange questions people ask me about death. #mortician #CanIKeepASkull #DeathTok #laurenthemortician #BodyPartLaws #CremationFacts #educational #educationalvideo #mortuaryscience
