Embalming
Embalming slows the natural processes that begin after death and preserves a dignified appearance. This matters most when the family would like an open-coffin farewell, when the funeral is delayed, for example until relatives arrive from abroad, and it is essential for international transport.
The procedure is carried out by qualified Ritual Prim specialists, carefully and with respect.
