As vacation season approaches and local Donnellan Family Funeral Services staff prepare for their summer breaks, mortuary director Gene Donnellan told reporters Friday that the last few embalmings he performs before vacation are typically pretty slapdash. To be perfectly honest, Im pretty much exhausted that whole week before Im off, so by the time I get to the last few bodies I usually end up overdoing the formaldehyde and skipping right to the cavity drainage, Donnellan said of his admittedly messy last-minute process, which, he added, is far from [his] best work but gets the job done. Look, if its six oclock on Friday and Ive got two weeks in the Virgin Islands ahead of me, its not like Im going to get to every toe. And then Ill just pack the anus and vagina with gauze to prevent seepage, put the bag of organs at the base of the casket, and call it a day. At press time, Donnellan was absentmindedly suturing a corpses mouth shut while thinking about what kind of tropical drink he was going to order.
