What is Embalming?
Embalming is the process of preserving a deceased body by slowing down natural decomposition and restoring a peaceful appearance. This is done by carefully cleansing the body and introducing specialised embalming fluids that help delay decay, sanitise tissues, and make the body suitable for ceremonial viewing or long-distance transport.
This service is often chosen when a family wishes to hold an open-casket viewing, needs to transport the body, or desires to preserve dignity during funeral arrangements.
