The process of an embalmed body turning into a skeleton can vary significantly based on several factors, including the embalming techniques used, environmental conditions, and whether the body is buried or cremated. Generally, it can take anywhere from several months to a few years for an embalmed body to decompose to the point of becoming a skeleton. In favorable conditions, complete skeletonization may occur within 5 to 10 years. However, embalming slows down decomposition, prolonging the time it takes for the body to fully skeletonize.

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
How long after a person dies that has been embalmed does it take them to turn into a skeleton?
AnswerThere are many variables that will affect the time the body will remain preserved. Typically a few years will see the body decomposed to skeletal remains. Those buried underground will last longer then those in above ground crypts. Placed in a controlled environment, a body can be preserved for decades, particularly if the embalming is 'refreshed' on a regular basis, such as Lenin's body in Moscow.
How long does it take for a body in a coffin to skeletise?
It depends on the surroundings. If the body lying in open, as soon the predators will eat the flesh, the body will turn into skeleton. If it is buried, the microbial activity, depending on prevailing temperature will remove the flesh turning it into skeleton.
How long does a body take to become a skeleton after burial?
The process of a body becoming a skeleton after burial can vary widely depending on several factors, including environmental conditions, soil type, and burial depth. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few months to several years for a body to decompose fully and leave behind a skeleton. In optimal conditions, such as warm temperatures and moist environments, decomposition occurs more rapidly, while cooler, drier conditions can slow the process significantly.
How long does it take for a body to turn into a skeleton in a desert?
An unburied body could be turned to nothing but a few bones in just a few hours. Scavengers would quickly turn a body into meals. Nothing goes to waste in the desert.
How long does it take for an embalmed body to decompose?
It starts to decay immediately and attracts flies first. It depends on the environmental conditions on how long it takes it to completely decompose. It can take several weeks or even months. Extra: It takes about a year for the body to decompose to a skeleton and teeth. The process of decomposition slows if it is in a casket.
How long does it take for an adult human skeleton to disintegrate?
If a human is buried in the ground in a quality coffin, it could take as much as 50 years for the body to decompose. If the body is buried in a cheap casket, decomposition and exposed to the elements, decomposition happens very quickly.
When was ted Kennedy embalmed?
As I've heard the news accounts, I don't understand where and when he could possibly been embalmed, other than at home - and given the amount of equipment that would take, I don't seriously think that happened either. So maybe the better question would be whether individuals have to be embalmed in the State of Massachusetts. Now, we must realize that he was to be buried out of state, so I don't know how that affects the decision whether to embalm or not. In Louisiana I think the law is that a body must be embalmed unless the burial takes place within 24 hours of the death. Senator Kennedy's body will NOT be buried within 24 hours, but he did not die nor will he be buried in Louisiana. I would like to know more, though.
How long does it take for a body to decompose after death if it has not been embalmed?
The process of decomposition is the same for everyone, but how much time it would take varies if the body is in a casket buried in the ground. Some may decompose within a few months, and some may take many years. There's no cut-and-dry answer.
