I've been called in by local funeral parlors to do death castings. The people there are usually very helpful.

------------Silica-Free & Oh So GREEN------->
NEW! MoldGel SILFREE. A revolutionary formula.
Made with all food-grade ingredients. It nourishes
the earth when discarded. 3-to-1 mix ratio yields
twice the volume as those 1-to-1 brands. Delayed
shrinkage for delayed casting - so creamy smooth, too.

Re: deathmasks:--
Lidia, as I recall, one of the classic books on sculpture, "Sculpture Inside and Out" by Malvina Hoffman about 1939 has at least a full chapter on the subject. While we now have better materials, there might be some still useful information. My copy is at my studio rather than my home. I will check tomorrow and let you know if it seems to have any value. If affirmative, I will be glad to copy the pages and send them to you. This may be a long shot, but perhaps worth a try.
A few years ago, someone attended one of my workshops specifically to learn the life casting process in order to do death masks. She worked for a funeral home and said that they occasionally got requests especially from Hispanics. I doubt if I can figure out who it was; but I'll look back in my records and see what I can find.
