Hygienic preparation of the deceased
A family should be left with a dignified memory. Hygienic care and preparation make an open farewell possible: hygienic procedures, cosmetic work, the hair, and dressing in clothes the family brings or buys from us.
All of it is done by trained staff, gently and with respect. Where it is needed we will recommend embalming, for a delayed funeral or a journey for instance.

Ask your own question
How is this different from embalming?
Hygienic care and cosmetic work prepare the deceased for the farewell. Embalming additionally slows the natural processes and is needed for a long farewell or for transport.
