Caption/Description
Arnold Dorsey says he must be both scientist and artist to prepare a body for an open-casket. Dorsey prepares the face for viewing with flesh color skin tint and Mary Kay cosmetics. Where death is a part of life, neighborhood children seem accustomed to the sight of bodies being wheeled about. Dorsey escorts Teresa Williams to her brother's gravesite.
