Embalming
is the use of chemicals to disinfect a body both internally and externally,
which eliminates certain known health hazards. An embalmer, properly licensed
by the state of Illinois, must perform this process. Except in certain special
cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however,
if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing or
shipping a body outside the state of Illinois. If you do not want embalming,
you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you
to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial.
