| Embalming is the art and science of preserving human remains by treating them (in its modern form with chemicals) to forestall decomposition. The intention is to keep them suitable for public display at a funeral, for religious reasons. It helps preserve the body for many years. The three goals of embalming are sanitization, presentation preservation and in some cases restoration. Embalming has a very long and cross-cultural history, with many cultures giving the embalming processes a greater religious meaning. * Embalming is distinct from taxidermy. Embalming preserves the human body intact, whereas taxidermy is the recreation of an animal's form often using only the creature's skin mounted on an anatomical form. * Embalming also differs from anatomical wetting, in which medical specimens (including cadavers) are preserved for further study and research. Anatomical wetting is not concerned with appearance and uses different chemicals from those used in traditional funerary embalming. |
