Embalmers are professionals who prepare deceased bodies for burial or cremation. They use special techniques and chemicals to preserve the body, ensuring it looks as natural as possible for viewings and funerals. This process helps families say their final goodbyes in a comforting way. In addition to preservation, embalmers also perform cosmetic work, such as applying makeup and styling hair. They often work closely with funeral homes and may assist families in planning memorial services. Their role is essential in helping people cope with loss and honoring the memory of the deceased.
