Feature
Features of embalming
-
Slowing post-mortem changes Embalming slows discoloration, drying, decomposition, and odor so families can spend the time until the funeral with greater peace of mind.
-
No dry ice required You do not need to place heavy, cold dry ice beside your loved one. (Depending on the condition of the remains, dry ice may be used in combination.)
-
More flexibility for the funeral With more time available, you are not limited to traditional formats and can reflect the deceased’s wishes and the family’s feelings more fully in the service.
-
Time for the funeral you need Whether you must wait for cremation schedules, an officiant, work commitments, or guests traveling from afar, you can take the time you need without rushing farewell.
-
Reducing secondary infection risk Even when there is concern about secondary infection from hepatitis, tuberculosis, HIV, MRSA, novel influenza, or other conditions, embalming allows children and those in fragile health to safely touch and say goodbye.
About 65.2% of remains may carry pathogens
Pathological studies have found that remains may carry pathogens in about 65.2% of cases, with serious infections such as hepatitis or tuberculosis in about 14.4%. Data like this supports early embalming as an effective response.

Helping your loved one look as they did in life
Embalming
As they were then
We restore fullness to the face lost after long illness, repair injuries from accidents or disasters, and help families say farewell in a form close to how they remember. At your request, we can apply makeup to address gauntness, changes in complexion, or discoloration of the limbs.
