Why Charlie Kirk Looked That Way in His Casket (Embalmer Reacts)

Sep 14, 2025
People are asking why Charlie Kirk looked the way he did in his open casket — from the yellow hands, to the “waxy” appearance, to conspiracy theories that it wasn’t even him. As a licensed funeral director and embalmer, I’m breaking down what you’re really seeing.

In this video, I’ll explain:
• Why embalmed hands sometimes look yellow
• What causes the “waxy” look in open caskets
• How morticians cover gunshot wounds with restorative art
• Why people think he looked “stuffed” after an autopsy
• The truth about his missing wedding ring
• Whether or not his public funeral could be open casket

This is sensitive subject matter — my goal is to educate and clear up misinformation, not to sensationalize his death.

💀 If you’re new here, I’m Lauren the Mortician. I talk about death, funerals, and embalming in a way that’s real, respectful, and myth-busting.
