Dead? Time to sort out options I
By Anne Steyer
Senior Reporter
Most people assume it’s all over
after one dies. Many think the body
is simply put in a box and the box
is put into a hole in the ground.

that the embalming fluid contain ai
least 5 percent formaldehyde gas
But before the fluid can be in
jected, all bodily orifices must be
plugged with absorbant cotton and
