Mortician explains how they keep dead people’s eyes closed

A TikTok mortician has been revealing the secrets behind the trade - including how they keep your eyes closed when you've died. Lovely.

Michael, who runs US-based company The Mortuary Store, shows fans how 'eye caps' make you look like you're sleeping peacefully.
