A body must be embalmed when it is to be stored for an extended period or transported over long distances, especially if the burial or cremation will be delayed. Embalming helps preserve the body and prevent decomposition, making it suitable for viewings or memorial services. Additionally, certain states may require embalming if the body is not buried or cremated within a specific timeframe. However, it is not always legally required, and alternative preservation methods may be available.
