What a morbid question! Good one though - it's a curious business. I am not an embalmer, just going on commonsense here - the body has to be drained of all fluid, the idea of embalming to be to keep the body from decomposing for as long as poss. All cavities have to be wadded with cotton. Formaldehyde acts as a preservative, but I don't know how they use it.

I am so sincerely sorry for your loss. To get right to your question; the funeral director is a professional. He will be very careful with your brother. My Son went to Mortuary School. They will wash and care for his remains. They will remove the blood by draining it with surgical tubes. It is all a very careful and clean process. Then they will put embalming fluid in to help preserve him and sterilize him in case of germs and decease. It is a very careful process. They are kept in a cooler room. Its not a freezer. My sister passed away on my birthday suddenly in September; my brother-in-law in October. I, too have been going through the pain of the loss. They really are happier, now. No pain. They know your hurting. They love you and will always be near you. I believe that. Life is the blink of an eye, they say. Don't worry you'll see them again. It feels like a long time to you; but in the big scheme of things; it's no time at all.

The blood is drained out of the body and embalming fluid is put inside. They also put a pinkish chemical/dye on the outside of the skin.

they drain your body fluids and pump in the embalming fluid. i had a service call for my job at a funeral home and had to go in the room where it takes place. talk about spooky, knowing that someday you'll be laying there

The bodily fluids are drained out and embalming fluid is pumped in.

drain fluids and pump in embalming fluid, just like an oil change.

I don't like to leave just links usually but this is a pretty accurate description.

I heard that the ancient Egyptians used tools to suck out the bodily fluids and organs. they used to suck the brain out of the persons head through the nose. then they put chemicals in the body to preserve the corpse. after, they bury the person with their jewelry and belongings.
