Embalming is unnecessary nine times out of ten and mostly an American custom that costs extra. Home funerals and natural burial are viable, respectful alternatives that reduce environmental harm and expense.
Otherwise, there is no urgency that has to be done. I mean, other than a home funeral as well. If you want to have the body laid out. That and the, it's becoming more widely known, but it's still worth saying is that nine times out of 10, you do not need to embalm a body. That's just an extra expense. And that's a purely American thing. I learned from my sister. Yeah.
Yeah.
Myths out there.
I love myth busting. Like that kind of stuff is huge. That you don't have to embalm a body. It's bad for the, it's bad for the earth.
Yeah.
It'S, it's like, it's, it's not like the body is going to be on display somewhere.
Yeah.
You know, dig it up. Dig up this body of this person that you knew. And in 20 years, it's like, no.
