The farewell hall
Embalming is preservative treatment intended to temporarily slow natural changes in the body after death. It differs from washing, dressing or cosmetic preparation. At Złoty Liść, you can discuss whether it is appropriate; it is not a standard part of every funeral.
Begin with a conversation and assessment
Explain the farewell you have in mind, whether you are considering a viewing and the proposed date. You can ask about options before deciding on treatment. The person responsible for preparation explains the proposed scope and what can reasonably be expected in your relative’s circumstances.
Care before the farewell.
