Embalming

What it is

Embalming is a deeper chemical conservation procedure than thanatopraxis, typically mandatory for international transfers or when a significantly long period elapses before the ceremony.

When it is needed

• When the body needs to be transported to another country.
• When the wake or ceremony will take place more than 48 hours after death.
• When the destination country's legislation mandates the procedure.
• When long-distance transport requires more robust preservation.

How it works

1. 1.Determine the legal requirements of both origin and destination countries.
2. 2.Engage a duly certified professional for the procedure.
3. 3.Compile all required documentation and certifications.
4. 4.Carry out the embalming and full body preparation.
5. 5.Obtain the international sanitary certificate, where required.
