They are assets that outlive people.
Even though silicone breast implants do not dissolve with the corpse once a person passes away, an Arkansas mortician has admitted that he does not remove them.
A interested fan prodded Gerald Ledford to make the startling assertion in a popular TikTok video regarding the afterlife of implants.
The follower inquired, “If a female has breast implants, are they removed or will the body decompose, becoming a skeleton with fake boobs?” He responded with a video that has received more than 380,000 views.
So they’re not taken away,” Ledford said. “They are yours; either you purchased them or someone else did so on your behalf. You’re burying them alongside yourself.
The mortician said, “If you’re embalmed, the embalming fluid will preserve the tissue and slow down the decomposing process.” “Or you’ll decay very quickly if you’re not embalmed. There will still be boobs. They won’t rot or disappear.
Ledford also debunked the idea that a corpse’s hair and nails keep growing after it dies, explaining that embalming only creates the illusion of growth.
He said, “The embalming fluid dehydrates you and shrinks your skin, giving the appearance that your hair and nails are growing. But your [artificial] boobs won’t change, and the skin surrounding them will ultimately deteriorate.
Several amusing comments were made in reaction to the mortician’s explanation of the implant, including one from a spectator who remarked: “Why do I now have the want to see a skeleton with silicon bags? LOL.” A clever commenter added: “Nice to know the girls continue to live on even in death!”
