Is it legal in the US to be mummified?

Is there a difference between mummified and decayed?

Yes, mummification (as in the ancient Egyptians) is when a body is preserved in such a way that it doesn't decay. "Mummified" means "preserved from decay" in some way, either natural or artificial. Decay is the overall breakdown or destruction of biological material, and usually destroys soft tissue such as skin. However, mummification means that the skin or outer layer is less affected. This typically occurs through drying, or the application of chemicals that prevent bacterial action.


Why are mummified remains found in arid regions?

Mummified remains are found in arid regions because the dry climate helps to naturally desiccate and preserve the body. The lack of moisture inhibits bacterial and fungal growth, slowing decomposition. Additionally, the low humidity levels and high temperatures in arid regions contribute to the preservation of the remains.
