Embalming is the mortuary custom of preserving bodies after death.
We use embalming today for two primary reasons: |
|
 |
To allow adequate time between death and funeral to observe social customs such as,
visitations and final rites, and |
|
|
To prevent the spread of infection. Also, cosmetic work is often used for aesthetic reasons. |
|
| Washing and cleansing of the deceased is also carried out according to the family wishes. |
| It is also possible for the relatives to be invloved in the ritual Wash & Dress of their loved ones. |
