A Funeral Director (Embalmer) will normally make a 3 inch incision near the Clavicle. A hooked instrument will then be inserted in the incision to pull up the Jugular Vein and Carotid Artery. The vein and artery will be cut slightly; A drainage tube will be inserted into the vein and another tube will insert into the artery. Arterial embalming fluid will be pumped into the carotid, traveling through the bodies arterial system thus reaching the bodies organs and tissus. As the arterial fluid enters the body, blood is forced out through the venous system into the drain tube and out of the body.The Thoracic and Abdominal cavity is Aspirated (Fluids Removed)by the insertion of a Trocar (Long hollow needle) and then Body Cavity fluid is injected using the same Trocar. Situations occur due to circumstance of death,disease,autopsy etc.. where different arteries and veins are used. However, in most cases this is the common procedure. to make it easy to understand in embalming, the body fluids are removed and embalming fluid is injected in to replace it.

Necropsy is essentially an autopsy. While an autopsy is specifically dealing with people a necropsy can be done on anything. The report is written by the coroner and explains the cause of death based on tissue analysis, culture results et cetera.

It means to preserve a dead body! Next time go look it up!

Mortician's wax is usually used for facial reconstruction on a badly dismembered individual at time of death. Its used to make the person appear as normal as possible. Molded to mimic the flesh that was once perfectly fine. It is also used in theater plays, used to transform the face into different characters you can build off of existing tissue to make a different silhouette of the face and or body.

because it helps disinfect the person's body, and it dries up alot of mositure.

Modern crematoriums can do so at a rate of about 100 pounds per hour.

Yes. Using an instrument called a trocar, the embalmer cleans out all of the hollow organs like the stomach, bladder, uterus, small intenstine and colon.

The remains were transferred to a mortuary, where they were kept while funeral arrangements were made.

The same way you would dress a mannequin or any inert body.

There are many biological processes that take place the instant someone passes away - sometimes even a few seconds before the actual passage into the afterlife. One of these is the evacuation of substances from body orifices. These orifices include the mouth, nose, ears, or the anus. Keep in mind that this does not happen to every decedent, but you will come across it while working in the funeral service industry.

Something needs to be done to rectify this issue, as someone's relative cannot be evacuating his or her orifices in the casket. There are many techniques the mortician can implement to fix the issue but, as a last resort, an anal plug is utilized. No one likes to do it, but sometimes it has to be done.

Within hours after death, the body begins to decompose naturally. Most US States enacted laws about whether a body must be embalmed or not. If embalmed, the natural decomposition is slowed but not completely stopped.

Burial laws also differ from State to State and Country to Country. In most US states, a body is buried in a coffin or ashes in an urn. However, a coffin can often be: a cardboard box, a pine box, or a more elaborate coffin usually made of steel on the outside. In addition, many States require a burial vault. The vault is a 3-sided concrete structure into which the coffin is lowered; the vault lines the inside of the grave.

Coffins and burial vaults act as a barrier between decomposing flesh, which contains fluids, and the ground and water table. As such, coffins and vaults protect the soil and ground water from human contamination. Contamination would create a public health risk.

As well, weather, rain, etc. can cause above-ground erosion. Caskets prior to the 1900s were always made of wood, mostly just a wooden box. The tops and sides of wood caskets eventually cave inward due to pressure from the soil. With weather, erosion, and caskets falling apart, people can often see deep depressions in the ground in the shape of a grave. The depressions can be several inches or more down. The weathering effects are much reduced with using a metal coffin and concrete vault because these do not cave inward as easily, and take hundreds of years to deteriorate.

In some areas (ex. southern states, or near rivers), like floodplains, burial locations may be prone to flooding and erosion. These can uncover coffins, whether intact or broken. So these cemeteries often require certain types of coffins, or require above-ground vaults, or require burial in a mausoleum -- a small building above ground in which coffins are slid into pre-made slots in cement walls, then cemented into the slot on the front (feet) side.

The individual known for keeping his embalmed wife at the dinner table was the artist and eccentric, Charles “Charlie” W. Wilson. After the death of his wife, he had her body embalmed and displayed in their home, often setting her at the table during meals. This unusual practice has drawn both curiosity and horror, highlighting Wilson's unconventional approach to grief and remembrance.

From working in funeral industry, I can tell you the cost will vary by location. Most places will charge between $375-$1100. This can be less if major cosmetic work is not required or, if no casketing is needed. Always check with at least 3 local providers when shopping for prices or at need services.
