Were the embalming in Six Feet Under and the restoration done by Federico realistic?

Answer 1

Not by any stretch of the imagination!! They showed a woman hanging out of the sunroof of a limo and hitting her head on a pole, and magically Federico was able to completely restore her. Realistically, that is very far fetched. It would takes days to completely restore to that extent, and would take an extemely talented, patient embalmer. Federico was magically able to *fix* alot of things that don't really happen that way in real life!! Don;t believe what you see on TV! : )
