Moreover, when it’s necessary to maintain the deceased person’s hands folded at their abdomen and the arms don’t stop falling, a ponytail tie binding the thumbs can solve the problem. As a matter of fact, superglue is also used for closing up all puncture marks from needles on a corpse. Sometimes, the typical efforts to keep the eyes closed aren't working, so a bit of superglue can really do the trick. As for the drive hearses, they're only used for the funeral ceremony.
It's because funeral homes use vans for picking up the body. When you come to think of it, you rarely see when a dead body is picked up. Here are some of the most interesting to know about: They drive minivans
Apart from taking care of the funeral service, we barely know about all the things they address when preparing a funeral service. Truth be told, most of us only have a vague idea about what funeral directors actually do. But it can spill out unpleasant fluids and gasses inside the casket. However, it’s not going to explode like one. As the pressure increases, the casket becomes like an overblown balloon. Once a body is placed in a sealed casket, the gases from decomposing cannot escape anymore. Exploding casketsĮven though it’s rare, the phenomena exist. Don’t eliminate cremation, which is the easiest way to turn your body into dirt. When a concrete vault comes with plastic, it can take even 500 years until the body start gets to dirt.Īnyone looking to come back to earth, should go with a biodegradable casket/ wood caskets and not use embalming. Concrete vault or not?Īnyone going for the "dust to dust" should not go with embalming, sealed casket, and concrete vault. Adipocere is bacteria-resistant, so it can protect the body and make the decomposition run slower.Īs long as the body isn’t accessible to insects, adipocere can develop one month after death and protect the body for more than a century. Grave wax (aka adipocere) is a waxy substance that will form on the parts of your body with fat (abdomen, cheeks, breasts, and buttocks). It's instead an urban ecological option, which also helps with the overcrowded cemetery problem. There’s a project out there that is composting the body, turning it into soil-building materials. In the case of a dry and arid environment, the body will last longer (remember the Egyptian mummies?), as moisture is the most damaging factor for bodies. Where the embalmed body is placed also matters.
The quality of the chemicals used for the embalming also counts. EmbalmingĮmbalming can block decomposition for a very long time, but where the body is buried matters a lot too. If the body is embalmed, though, the process will slow down so the eyes won't bulge outward anymore. The cells become food for the bacteria in the gut, which can still eliminate noxious gas to make the body bloated. Three days after death, the enzymes in your body will start to eat the body out. Here are some of the most interesting to know: The body does cannibalize itself There are plenty of natural processes that begin once the person has died. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't at least try. Obviously, it's impossible to think when someone you loved died. Maybe reading about what happens to the body and what people from the funeral home do to it is going to help you take a step back for gaining clarity. However, we need to brace ourselves and remember that we're all going to die, eventually. Talking about death isn't easy, and dealing with it is one of the most challenging things to do in life.
