what is actually 'done' to the corpse? in this process?
Do you want to know?

I do know, yes. I would much prefer to be cremated and flushed.

Suck out all the juice and put in antifreeze. I hear they pin prick the body and put fire to it to burn out all the gasses too, but I don't know if they still do that anymore. That picking the brain out through the nose is Egyptian form of embalming. I'd rather just be creamated. Did you know you can make diamonds out of the carbon that is created when a body is creamated? Wouldn't it be nicer to wear a diamond ring to remember me than have a little jar of dust on the mantle? I think that's what I want to become...diamonds.

I know a little bit... They have to pick out the brain through the nose with some kind of long, hooked stick (pure genius, lol) and soak the body in salt to dehydrate it... And they put some of the organs in jars...
