With the autopsies over; the coroner and his assistant gathered all the evidence, samples and information and went to their office/lab to begin work on the preliminary autopsy reports the police would want asap. Steve now had the task of preparing the 3 bodies for the cooler until they were released to the funeral home for burial. The vaginal and anal speculums were removed from each corpse and returned to their storage position. He now closed the eyes of each victim. Each corpse was sprayed/washed from head to toe including all the body orifices. Each was then dryed. Steve couldn’t believe this. Three beautiful nude dead women lying in front of him. He walked over beside Ashley’s corpse and looked down at her pale young body. He had just recently broke up with his girlfriend Amy and was more than a little bit horny. He struggled to purge that from his mind. He reached over and gave her cold dead lips a quick kiss. Next he walked over to Jane’s corpse and with his gloved hands felt of her big boobs. Whoops! How time flies! Time for his relief. Garland arrived on schedule. Steve gave him a turnover concerning the 3 corpses and left for home. Garland covered each with a sheet and placed them in the cooler. He received a call from the coroner that Brenda and Jane’s mother would be coming to offically ID the 3 bodies. She arrived shortly after 11:00 AM and with much difficulty retaining her composure confirmed the preliminary identification. At this point she was next of kin since Mike was in a coma and it was uncertain if he would survive. She noted that Blackwelder’s Funeral Home would be in charge of the arrangements.

Part III
Preparation of the Bodies
At 9 Am on Sunday morning the Coroner released the bodies for burial. After receiving the call, Zeke Blackwelder arrived in the hearse and the bodies were rolled from the cooler. The bodies were loaded side by side and he was on his way back to the Funeral Home. Zeke had been in the Funeral business for about 30 years. His lovely wife Renee had died about 20 yrs ago in a tragic traffic accident and he lived alone on the 2nd floor of the Funeral Home. He was about 60 years old, tall and slender and rarely smiled. Stories had went around for years concerning Zeke’s fondness for his female clients but nothing had ever been proven or substantiated. Upon arrival back at the Funeral Home; Zeke backed the hearse into the garage at the back and closed the door to the outside. He opened the rear door of the hearse and removed each of the gurneys and rolled them into the preparation/embalming rooms. He rolled the gurneys one at a time up beside the embalming/preparation tables. Now let’s see what we have here he thought as he uncovered the first body by pulling the sheet off feet first. He noted on the toe tag “Jane Carson” and stared at the woman’s corpse. She truly was a work of art. He marveled at the long luscious shapely legs and the large perfectly shaped tits that were now slightly sunken and splayed to the side. He went to the head of the table and grasping Jane under the arm pits ; moved her over to the stainless steel table. Now he removed the sheet from another corpse by the same method he used before. He noted on the toe tag ” Ashley Williams”. This young women was of average height and weight but not bad looking either . Real pale compared to the other one. Must not have been the outdoor type; no tan. Using the same method as before; Zeke moved Ashley over to the stainless steel table. Now he removed the sheet from the last corpse. He noted on the toe tag ” Brenda Williams”. He looked the body up and down remembering that he had seen her around town and at a recent funeral and had considered her to be very attractive. Now it was going to be her turn. He had a little more work to do with this one than the others. The bullet hole in the side of her head and the results after the removal of the brain would make it a little more difficult to prepare her so that she looked like she was sleeping/almost alive. That was the look Zeke strived for with his female clients. He put a neck block under each neck ;placed the sheet back over each corpse and went to his office to call Margaret Carson ( the women’s mother/grandmother).
Zeke went over to Mrs. Carson’s discuss the funeral arrangements. It was decided that all 3 women would be embalmed and that they would have open casket funerals. Attempts were being made to contact Margaret’s only son Ron (who was in the Army stationed in South Korea)concerning the deaths; so Margaret wanted to postpone the funerals in hope that he would be allowed to return home to attend. Tentatively they would plan on the funerals/burial on Thursday (the 26th); the day after Christmas. Zeke instructed the family that if they could bring the burial clothing/shoes ; labeled as who it was to be used for; to the funeral home no later than Tuesday morning at 9 AM and *********** the coffins; then the bodies would be available for viewing after the hairdresser was finished by 4PM that same day. Mrs. Carson indicated she could be there on Monday at 9 AM if that was better and would give Zeke more time. Zeke agreed.
Zeke returned to the Funeral Home to begin the embalming/preparation of the bodies. He would like some help being there were 3. He contacted a Funeral Home in a neighboring town. Mark and his wife Jennifer (who was also a licensed embalmer) would be right over to assist. He had assisted them awhile back after a messy auto accident in their town. He sprayed/washed each corpse with a mild disinfectant soap; paying particular attention to all of the body cavities . Once that was done; he dryed each corpse off . Mark and Jennifer had now arrived to assist. Zeke had decided that he would prepare Brenda’s corpse. Mark would work on Jane; leaving Jennifer to prepare Ashley.
Zeke set to work on repairing the bullet hole in Brenda’s head. He used a filler and cement to close the hole. Now he had to straighten out her scalp. He cut the sutures the coroner had used; removed the skull cap and packed the skull area with filler. He replaced the skull cap and cemented it closed. Next he stretched the scalp back into place and began to sew it back together as neatly as possible. Once this was done he stood back and took a look. Not bad; he thought.In the meantime; Mark had packed Jane’s nostrils with gauze treated with disinfectant. He had filled her mouth with cotton treated with the disinfectant and was sewing the lips shut. Next the eyecups were placed to keep the eyes closed. Jennifer had packed Ashley’s nostrils and mouth with the treated gauze and also sewn her mouth shut. Eyecups had also been installed to keep the eyelids shut. Now the cutting trocar was used to make the incision in the abdomen of both bodies and the cavity embalming was begun. The cavity embalming was then completed and the incisions in the abdomen of both bodies was sewn up. The rectums of both corpses were packed with treated cotton . Incisions were made in the neck of Jane and Ashley to facilitate the arterial embalming/”pumping and draining” of their bodies. As the blood was being drained and replaced by the embalming fluid; Mark and Jennifer were periodically massaging/exercising the breasts, arms and legs of both corpses to ensure as even a distribution of the fluid as possible. Jennifer could see that Mark was becoming quite aroused as he handled the beautiful woman’s corpse. She’d seen it happen before with pretty ones such as this. She’d have to make sure he was satisfied tonight when they returned home. One of Mark’s favorite sex games was for Jennifer to strip naked and lie on the slab covered with a sheet. Both would pretend she was dead and Mark would come in and fuck her “dead” body. Quite satisfying for them both. But now back to the task at hand. Once the arterial embalming was finished ; the opening in the neck of each was closed and sealed.Having taken care of the wounds in her head; Zeke packed Brenda’s nostrils and mouth with the gauze and then sewed the mouth shut. He added the eyecups to keep the eyes closed. He used the cutting trocar to make the incision in the abdomen and performed the cavity embalming. The incision in the abdomen was then sewn up. He packed the corpses’ rectum with treated cotton. Zeke now made the incisions in Brenda’s neck for the arterial embalming and commenced the pump and drain. He periodically massaged/exercised the breasts, arms and legs to get the fluid evenly distributed. He also became quite aroused as he handled Brenda’s corpse. Even though he had been embalming for about 30 years; preparing the pretty ones still had this effect on him; especially after his wife had died. He managed to calm himself down enough to be able to continue. Once the arterial embalming was finished; the opening in the neck was closed and sealed. With the embalming of all 3 corpses now complete ; Zeke thanked Mark and Jennifer for the help and they were on their way home.
