The most complete and up-to-date text on the art and science of embalming

Sponsored by the American Board of Funeral Service Education

  • Health and regulatory standards
  • Chemicals and methods
  • Specific conditions and causes of death that influence the type of embalming
  • Special cosmetic applications and restorative procedures
