Post-mortem care refers to the procedures and practices that are carried out after a person has died. This care is essential for maintaining the dignity of the deceased and involves cleaning the body, positioning it appropriately, and preparing it for viewing or transportation. It may also include removing any medical devices and ensuring that the environment is respectful. In many healthcare settings, post-mortem care is performed by trained staff, such as nurses or morticians. This process may also involve documentation, such as completing a death certificate and notifying relevant authorities. Proper post-mortem care helps support the grieving family and ensures that the deceased is treated with respect.
