Embalming is the art and science of
preserving human remains by treating them (in its modern
form with chemicals) to forestall decomposition. The
intention is to keep them suitable for public display at a
funeral, for religious reasons, or for medical and
scientific purposes such as their use as anatomical
specimens. The three goals of embalming are sanitization,
presentation, and preservation (or restoration). Embalming
has a very long and cross-cultural history, with many
cultures giving the embalming processes a greater religious
meaning.
