Mortuary Science

Mortuary science is the study and practice of preparing the deceased for burial or cremation. It encompasses various aspects, including embalming, which is the preservation of the body, and restorative art, which focuses on cosmetically enhancing the appearance of the deceased. Professionals in this field, known as morticians or funeral directors, also provide support to grieving families, helping them navigate the logistics of funeral services and memorials. Mortuary science combines aspects of biology, psychology, and ethics to honor the deceased while providing compassionate care to their loved ones.
