As is often the case in this day and age, a greater number of cases the Embalmer deals with are Obese.

If you think of embalming as a sort of transfusion, where you replace bodily fluids, blood/urea and contents from the digestive tract, with formalin! Then, It is obvious that an overweight person will need more formaldehyde injected into them, than someone thinner!

Formaldehyde is a water solvent gas! Whenever it interacts with fluid it sets of a turbulent chemical reaction which, when harnessed within an air free environment, triggers a response, which within the arterial system of the human body, leads to the bodily tissue hardening in a plastic state! This kills off internal pathogens and (along with external cleaning of the outer bodily tissue... and aspiration and treatment with 100% cavity formaldehyde fluid of the internal organs) renders the body safe.An d, as a rule, when treating obese cases you should always opt for a strong and pliable artery to raise! The ideal one being , in my opinion, the main Carotid artery! If, like many embalmers you choose to go for the Femoral, then, because of the persons weight, you are asking for trouble...(this artery will often be occluded with clots and the fatty tissue around it will give you difficulties because of the slippery emissions that will ensue! It is always advisable to carry out drainage via the Jugular vein via the head, as often, obese people have high blood pressure and circulatory problems prior to their demise,which can result in a livid appearance of the skin.

Apart from the obvious difficulties of lifting/transporting obese people, I would just have to say that no specialized embalming techniques are necessary for obese patients... It's just that you just have to give the extra mile and persevere as you go along...... Hope this helped a bit... C.
