Who are the people who prep dead bodies?

Morticians, also known as funeral directors, guide families and friends through the process of putting a loved one to rest after death. Morticians must have compassion and strong communication skills to work with clients at a difficult time and help them make decisions about funeral arrangements.

Can you have a viewing if the body is not embalmed?

Many funeral homes will not allow a public viewing unless embalming is performed. It is not a state or federal law that embalming be required. It is only a regulation by certain funeral homes. The regulation exists for many reasons including health safety, liability, and other undesired effects of decomposition.

Who prepares dead bodies for viewing?

In a funeral home, the embalmer is responsible for embalming and preparing the bodies of the deceased for funeral services as well as burials or cremations.

How are bodies prepared for viewings?

The first step in the embalming process is surgical, in which bodily fluids are removed and are replaced with formaldehyde-based chemical solutions. The second step is cosmetic, in which the body is prepared for viewing by styling the hair, applying makeup, and setting the facial features.

Does a body have to be embalmed for viewing?

Embalming is not a legal requirement according to federal law, but it is Kuhn Funeral Home's recommendation that a family allow us to perform the embalming when planning a public, open casket viewing.
