The forensic team concluded that the body was embalmable and could be transported to the funeral home.

The old funeral home had two small embalming rooms next to the chapel, each equipped with stainless steel tables and bright overhead lights.

Before the family arrived, the mortician spent the morning preparing the body in the embalming room to ensure a peaceful appearance.

The museum conservators mixed new batches of embalming fluids in a ventilated area to test their long-term effects on textile preservation.

The funeral director explained that embalming fluid is used to slow decomposition before burial.
