WARNING: This post contains photos of the embalming process.  If you are sensitive to photos of deceased persons and bodily fluids, please do not continue reading.  The purpose of this post isn’t to salaciously satisfy your morbid appetite.  My hope is that it can create a better (albeit fundamental) understanding of the process of embalming.

All of these photos have been sourced from the YouTube video “Modern Embalming Practice” by German embalmer Thomas Müller.

If you’re interested in the depth of the funeral business, this book will bury you six feet deep.
