I recently watched the 1968 Romeo and Juliet movie starring Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting . I noticed that when Capulet and Lady Capulet thought Juliet was dead that they simply covered her with a sheet and put her in the family vault. She could not have been embalmed because she woke up later.... and so goes the story. But, anyway, I was wondering if was normal not to embalm people in that time period of if they just did that in the movie?
Thanks!
