These photos are color versions of the photos found in the How-To Tutorials in Chapter Four of Vulture Culture 101: A Book For People Who Like Dead Things. The versions in the book are small and black and white, and so I wanted people to have larger color versions to refer to if they wish. They are shown in the order they appear in the book. For context you’ll need the book itself. You can get it here.
Please note some of these pictures are pretty graphic. This is why that particular chapter in the book is entitled “This is Where it Gets Messy.”
