Embalming

Embalming remains a key discipline within the UK funeral profession, offering preservation, presentation, and hygiene care for the deceased prior to viewing or ceremony. It requires specialised training, adherence to health and safety protocols, and an understanding of evolving client preferences and cultural considerations.
