What a morbid question! Good one though - it's a curious business. I am not an embalmer, just going on commonsense here - the body has to be drained of all fluid, the idea of embalming to be to keep the body from decomposing for as long as poss. All cavities have to be wadded with cotton. Formaldehyde acts as a preservative, but I don't know how they use it.

jk

The bodily fluids are drained out and embalming fluid is pumped in.

The blood is drained out of the body and embalming fluid is put inside. They also put a pinkish chemical/dye on the outside of the skin.

worry about it when your dead
lol

I dunno. Drain the blood and then pump in the liquid?

they drain your body fluids and pump in the embalming fluid. i had a service call for my job at a funeral home and had to go in the room where it takes place. talk about spooky, knowing that someday you'll be laying there

I don't like to leave just links usually but this is a pretty accurate description.

I heard that the ancient Egyptians used tools to suck out the bodily fluids and organs. they used to suck the brain out of the persons head through the nose. then they put chemicals in the body to preserve the corpse. after, they bury the person with their jewelry and belongings.

drain fluids and pump in embalming fluid, just like an oil change.
