My sister's mother in law was not embalmed. As long as the body is kept cold, you have a few days. She had the visitation for 1 hour and put back in refrigeration and only 1 hour was the coffin allowed open at the grave site. Hope this helps.

How did the children of Israel bring Joseph's back to the Promise land?

The Egyptians embalmed their honored dead, and Joseph was embalmed after he died. The Hebrews took Joseph's embalmed body back, wrapped up so it would not fall apart, or evaporate after decades in the desert. Today, dead people are often embalmed after they die so they can be transported a long distance from where they died to where they will be buried.

What happens to people who have funerals?

This question is unclear. Those who have died, if they are to be embalmed, will be embalmed for preservation. They will be dressed and either the funeral director or the embalmer will take pains to make the body look as 'life-like' as possible.Written by Rev. Amy Long


Was Jacob's son Joseph cremated?

No. According to the Old Testament accounts, Joseph had placed the children of Israel under oath not to bury him in Egypt (Genesis 50:24, 25; Exodus 13:19), so his body was embalmed and placed in a coffin when he died (Genesis 50:26).His body was ultimately buried in a plot of land in Shechem which his father Jacob had purchased long before (Joshua 24:32; Genesis 33:18, 19).
