It wasn't answered before and I hope I don't get reprimanded for asking again...(those sites didn't help)

Are bodies fully immursed in formalin (a solution of formaldehyde, water, and methanol) when preserved?
And I would assume that they're internal organs are removed and discarded unless they decide to donate
and only the external stuff is preservered?

I meant preserved of course. (spelling error)

If you are talking about embalming, here is a site for you to read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embalming

Um...I stopped reading halfway down the page...started getting nauseous
It was extremely graphic into how they preserve people.

Thanks anyways Dr.Bob =D

Actually, the good part (where they actually describe the different types of embalming is further down the page. Way down. Past the history part.

EWW Dr.Bob..I started to get queasy after reading HOW they embalm during each step which I can't believe they numbered....

I apologize if the information I shared earlier was not what you were looking for or if it made you uncomfortable. I understand that embalming can be a sensitive and graphic topic. If you are not able to find the specific information you are looking for on embalming bodies with formalin, I can try to explain the general process of embalming in a less detailed and graphic way.

During the embalming process, a solution called embalming fluid is used to preserve the body. This fluid typically contains a mixture of formaldehyde, water, and other chemicals. Formaldehyde is a disinfectant and preservative that helps slow down the decomposition of the body.

The embalming process involves injecting the embalming fluid into the arteries while simultaneously draining the blood from the veins. This allows the fluid to reach all parts of the body and replace the blood. It helps to preserve the tissues, organs, and overall appearance of the deceased.

In terms of internal organs, it depends on the specific situation. In some cases, organs may be removed and preserved separately, especially if there is a need for organ donation. However, in most cases, the organs are left intact during the embalming process.

Please keep in mind that embalming practices may vary depending on cultural and religious customs, as well as individual preferences. If you have any concerns or specific questions about embalming, it is best to consult a professional in the field, such as a funeral director or embalmer who can provide accurate and detailed information.
