I’m a mortician — here’s what we do with breast implants after someone dies

By Andrew Court
July 18, 2023

They’re death-defying assets.

An Arkansas mortician has revealed that he does not remove silicone breast implants after a person dies, even though they don’t decompose alongside other parts of the body.

Gerald Ledford made the surprising claim in a viral TikTok clip about the afterlife of implants, which was spurred by a curious follower.

“If a female has breast implants, are they removed or will the body decompose, becoming a skeleton with fake boobs?” the follower asked, prompting him to record a video response that has clocked up more than 380,000 views.

“So they’re not removed,” Ledford responded. “They’re yours — you bought them or somebody bought them for you. You’re taking them with you to the grave.”

“The embalming fluid dehydrates you and your skin shrinks, so it looks like your hair and nails grow,” he clarified. “But your [fake] boobs are gonna stay the same and the skin will shrink around them and eventually decompose.”

So they'll look bigger, at least for awhile, just like your hair and nails.  Good to know, I guess.

Also, why would they take them out?  It's not like they could be sold and re-used.   Ewwww.

My question is:  what happens if the person's remains are cremated?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I remember Unsolved Mysteries where they solved the identity of a murder victim by running their serial numbers on their fake boobs.

I Googled it.  Apparently, they leave them in, but the words "gelatinous goo" kept showing up in the results.  Ewwww, again.

This ranks pretty high on my list of questions I have never thought I'd see asked, let alone answered.

I've thought about this. What happens when I will eventually get cremated to my hip replacement?


What happens to knees that are replaced? I know pacemakers are removed before cremation.
