Speakers and Topics JACK ADAMS, CFSP has over 40 years of funeral service experience, embalming in excess of 20,000 bodies. In addition to representing The Dodge Company in Northern Illinois, he is a member of The Dodge Company embalming research staff, author of many embalming articles that appear in the Dodge Magazine, an Embalming Lab Instructor at Worsham College, and a very popular technical presenter. Turning Challenges Into Opportunities: No embalmer has encountered every possible challenging case, but Jack probably comes close. By way of photos of challenging cases he s embalmed and restored, Jack will share some of his experiences. Cases will range from accident victims, edematous and/or emaciated bodies, bodies with gangrene, and lots more. TOM BUIST has been a licensed funeral director and embalmer for over 30 years. He holds a certification in eye enucleation and corneal excisions. Tom worked for York Great Lakes as a sales representative, lecturer, and trainer before joining The Dodge Company as a sales representative in Michigan. Every Problem Has An Answer The Problems: Everyone in attendance will be assigned to a table of 8-10 fellow embalmers and a problem embalming case will be given to each table. The assignment will be to discuss the various ways the case could be embalmed, restored, and cosmetized, and hopefully the group can reach a consensus. If you ve encountered any particular problems or come up with a great new technique, this is a good time share! Every Problem Has An Answer The Answers: A spokesperson from each table will report to the group. Ideally the group will have reached a consensus, but if not, a variety of ideas may be presented and the moderator usually has a few ideas of his own! TOM BUIST & JACK ADAMS Formaldehyde-Free Embalming Does It Work?: Of course it works or products wouldn t be on the market! That said, some cases are better suited to be embalmed using a formaldehyde-free solution than others. Tom and Jack have some great pictures of cases embalmed with formaldehyde-free chemicals and will discuss the pros and cons. Studies are still in the works to determine which products do what hopefully by the time we meet some of those results will be available. Questions?
