Week Seven: Discussion Forum

Discussion Topic

Top of Form

Earlier in this course we talked about chemistry in funeral service and touched the surface on embalming chemistry. In this forum we will look at a specific topic in embalming chemistry a bit more in-depth. 

We learned this week about several compounds responsible for the odors associated with decomposition. Neutralizing and/or covering these odors is important to both client satisfaction and funeral home bottom lines. 

For this week, investigate ways that we in the funeral industry try to mask or neutralize these odors. You may use real world methods used by professional embalmers where you work or research from outside sources.
