A MATTER OF
PRESERVATION
Embalming dates back at least to ancient Egypt where the body-preservation technique was undertaken to help the dead enter the afterlife. The modern age of embalming began during the Civil War when it became necessary to preserve the war dead to shipment back to their homes and families. Aside from postponing the inevitable decomposition of the body, embalming also restores the body to a more pleasing appearance. This is a distinct advantage for those families who wish to view the body prior to burial. Not all cultures subscribe to embalming, nor is it necessarily prescribed by law; however, it may be a requirement if a body must travel across state lines or certain distances.
