Embalming is a long practice aimed at maintaining human remains to prevent deterioration and making it appropriate for presentation at memorial service. Historically, the act of human preservation began in Egypt around 3,000 years ago, after witnessing the effects of preservative and mummification on bodies left in the desert. There are two methods of body preservation; they are; ancient and modern techniques. The components of preserving liquids include; formalin, phenol, methylated spirit, glycerin, and water. Certain factors such as temperature, humidity, arthropods, and carnivores can influence an embalmed body. It has therefore been suggested that embalming ought to be completed in a place that is outfitted with an extractor fan or possibly an all-around ventilated territory.
