Embalming : Does My Loved One Need To Be Embalmed if I Want To See Them in the Chapel of Rest?
So todays frequently asked question that we get from clients quite regularly, is “does my loved one need to be embalmed if I want to see them in the chapel of rest?“
The answer is no, they don’t. However, depending on the cause of death, the cocktail of drugs that the deceased might have had to endure, it is advisable to have them embalmed. Because nature will take its course whatever treatment we give them.
And particularly now, with the delays in arranging and conducting a funeral, it can be many weeks between death and the opportunity to see your loved one. So we do advise that the embalming takes place. So that is Simon Welham, Welham Jones Funeral and Memorials help and advice at an emotional time.
