A MATTER OF TIME
While the ancient Egyptians practiced the art of embalming their dead thousands of vearj ago. modem embalming did not get its start until the American Civil War. At that time. President Lincoln directed the use of embalming so that the bodies of the fallen soldiers could withstand their trips back home for proper funerals. Upon the conclusion of the war. embalming was less popular owing largely to the lack of demand and few people who were familiar with the procedure. However, as custom coffins and detailed funeral planning became more w idespread at the turn of the 20th century, embalming became popular once again. Embalming took the haste out of the burial process, allowing ample ume for people to arrange and prepare funerals.
