Embalming chemicals are a variety of preservatives, sanitising and disinfectant agents and additives used in modern embalming to temporarily prevent decomposition and restore a natural appearance for viewing a body after death. A mixture of these chemicals is known as embalming fluid and is used to preserve deceased individuals, sometimes only until the funeral, other times indefinitely.

embalming fluid contains a mixture of formaldehyde, methanol, ethanol, and other solvents. embalming someone slows the decomposition process so the body can be viewed and a funeral can be held.
