Melvin is retiring this week from Elmhurst Hospital in Queens - one more news event to remember this week.Ĭopyright © 2023 NPR. INSKEEP: Melvin and Marvin Morgan for Stor圜orps in New York. MELVIN MORGAN: And I just hope I go out the right way. MELVIN MORGAN: No one can tell you where you came from, no one can tell you why you're here and no one sure can't tell you where you're going. And she said, well, am I going to heaven? I said, I don't know. MARVIN MORGAN: (Laughter) You know, this young lady asked me the other day - she asked me about death. And I'm not afraid of death, but to be honest with you, if something happened to my twin brother, even though I do this job, I don't know if I'd be able to take it. MELVIN MORGAN: The same that you do with me. I would talk to you so I can get over it. MARVIN MORGAN: Some of these cases, you know, you take it home and it just sits with you. Twiniversity is the perfect twins daily tracker and twins week-by-week sections for pregnancy as well as the first year with your duo. And I would go and play music for them and talk to them. And they all of them went to the freezer. And I had friends that died - coworkers, the people that work in the hospital. It was hard, especially with the ones that, you know, you knew. You know, bodies coming from the elevator all the way down the corridor through the hallway to the morgue, lined up. MELVIN MORGAN: We was at the epicenter of this pandemic. MARVIN MORGAN: What was the hardest thing you ever seen? Includes a health assessment in partnership with. Includes robust data collection features. But I knew I was moving into the right field because I knew that I had an important job to do. Pros and Cons: Includes a calendar to note doctor appointments, recorded data, milestones and more. MELVIN MORGAN: It was a heck of a experience to see my comrades cutting up a body with ease and not being frightened, which I was in the beginning. So your first day of the mortuary, what'd you do? And I said that one day that we're going to see that people be buried right. They were buried in unmarked graves - no headstone, no nothing. Down south, the African American's cemeteries separate from the Caucasian cemeteries. MELVIN MORGAN: Right, she over there somewhere. MARVIN MORGAN: He pointed out, and said, she's over there somewhere. MELVIN MORGAN: We were walking past the cemetery, and our cousin. MARVIN MORGAN: So remember, we were down south and we went to go look for great-grandmom's grave? At Stor圜orps, they talked about the calling they share, practicing that calling amid the deaths of the pandemic years and a childhood discovery that led them to their work. INSKEEP: (Laughter) Melvin and Marvin did end up becoming morticians themselves - not in a funeral home, but in morgues in New York City. On his way to the hospital, he saw Marvin and Melvin Funeral Home. MARVIN MORGAN: Mama called Daddy and told him to find two names because he had two twin sons. And today we hear from Melvin and Marvin Morgan. It's Friday, which is when we hear from Stor圜orps.
