Do embalmers take out organs of the dead?
Embalmers do not remove the organs or viscera of the deceased.
If an autopsy is performed, it is done by a forensic pathologist.
The pathologist, also known as a coroner, will remove the viscera.
The viscera is then weighed and measured before being returned to
the deceased body. Once the human remains have been released to a
funeral home, the embalmer treats the viscera with chemicals and
then sutures the incision.
