Hey. Stumbled into your LJ by randomness. Surprised to see someone from Australia, then astounded to see someone working with cadavers. Used to work with Police Forensics myself, ran the Central Queensland unit for a few years. I agree, you can, and actiually IMHO must, distance yourself from it all. Let the Funeral Directors deal with the families. If you start getting involved with the families, you could find yourself taking on a bit of the sadness and pain. Over time, that all builds up. Can be a great job tho. Hope it works for you.
