What Happened to the Bodies in the Colosseum? Mortician Explains

What happened to the bodies in the Roman Colosseum? As a mortician, that question sent me down a rabbit hole I did not expect. From the Gate of Death to the workers responsible for removing the dead, Ancient Rome had a system behind the spectacle. In this EDUCATIONAL Morbid Monday episode we explore the darker logistics of the Colosseum — what happened after the crowd stopped cheering. Plus at the end of the video I answer a few morbid questions from the comment section about burial rituals, what happens in the body after death, and whether families can witness cremation. Happy Morbid Monday, Coffin Crew. — Hi, I’m Lauren the Mortician. I talk about death, dying, funerals, and mortuary science in a way that’s educational, respectful, and sometimes a little morbid.
