Embalmment

Embalming is a preservation process used to temporarily preserve a deceased person's body. It involves injecting preservative chemicals, such as formaldehyde-based solutions, into the arterial system to slow decomposition and maintain a natural appearance. This process also sterilizes the body, reducing the risk of infection. Embalming is commonly performed for funerals, viewings, or transportation over long distances. It allows family and friends to view the deceased in a respectful manner and helps maintain dignity during public ceremonies, while also facilitating transportation and future arrangements.
