NecroMetics® is a family-owned company dedicated to the value of open casket viewing. Our mission is to provide mortuary restoration professionals with the cosmetics and training they need to move into the 21st century and provide results that were simply not attainable with commonly available mortuary cosmetic products. I don’t lay claim to any “secret ingredients” or “proprietary products”. I have adapted products from the special effects cosmetic industry that I have used in my own restoration practice for years and “tweaked” them for mortuary applications. Everything I sell, I use in my own restoration practice. The results can be the difference between a comforting, natural appearing viewing experience, and the mannequin-like appearance of the old mortuary cosmetics and techniques. Being a special effects cosmetics enthusiast since childhood and practicing every technique and reading every book on the subject I could find (culminating with taking the famous Dick Smith 3D Makeup Course), has equipped me well to know the products and to teach others to be the best mortuary restorative cosmeticians they can be. My company is committed to a firm belief that God has given us talents that need to be, and should be, liberally shared with future generations of mortuary restoration students and professionals. I am always here to help you in your quest to create the best possible viewing experience for the families you serve. I dedicate this company and our work in loving memory of my beautiful daughter, Felicity, who was taken too soon at only 24 years of age, but who’s encouragement and faith brought me to understand the true ministry of our wonderful profession. Distributed exclusively by Pierce Chemical Company (800) 527-6419.
