The usual term for the process in English is "embalming", referring to the special balms or ointments used to preserve the corpse.

In Ancient Egyptian, the word for "to embalm" is wt, which is related to another verb meaning "to bandage or wrap". Bandages are wtyw.

Another word for "to embalm" is sdwx.

Remember that hieroglyphs did not record vowels, so we can not know how these words were said.
