Adhesives and cosmetics- something like lip balm ( not embalm! are used to secure the mouth, etc. You did not state the cause of death- Accidents- auto, etc and crimes, often require specialized Damage Control- and all of the stops are pulled out in the case of the Ladies. a relative of mine once went to a wake of a Nurse who was decapitated in an auto accident- (this explained her interest in Jayne Mansfield"s fatal crash)- yes the body was restored- and (they sewed her head back on) it is really a restorative art. In similar damage-control cases ladies are often sewn into their last dresses- and Empire Gowns are admirably suited to this ( not the neck injury though- that Poor Lady would have to have something closed-up around her neck -maybe a turtleneck. an interfesting question!
