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.
• To prevent the spread of infection, cosmetic work is often used for aesthetic reasons.

Washing and cleansing of the deceased are carried out according to the family's wishes. It is also possible for the relatives to be involved in the ritual Wash & Dress of their loved ones. The embalming process for the Hindu funerals including Tamil funerals will be done after proper consultation with you regarding the needs and requirements.
