The above answer is not correct at all. We do not remove ANY organs during the embalming process, organs are ONLY removed if they were organ donor or if they were autopsied. Embalming is not required by any state laws in the US unless there is to be a public visitation or shipped on an aircraft. During embalming, we replace the blood with embamlming fluid and then aspirate any remaining fluid from the chest cavity, but the organs are never removed by a funeral director.

During embalming, soft tissue such as body organs, must get removed from the body as well as bodily fluids, the body is then injected with formaldehyde solution to preserve the body until the viewing, and also kept in a freezer otherwise the deceased will start decaying sooner. If the deceased request to have their internal organs buried with them due to religion or belief, then they must be buried within the first 72 hours.

They do it if you're planning to view the body at a funeral if not that's when you can have it cremated since they don't require embalming.

All I know is they start by draining all the fluids from the body. From then on.. no idea.
