Long-Term Embalming: A 20 minute podcast on Long-term Embalming, A combination of mortuary style embalming and Anatomical embalming. Using this technique you should be able to embalm cases that have to be at the mortuary with long delays before visitations or services. In researching this material I embalmed 15 cases using this technique with a delay of between 3 and 14 months, average delay of 5 months.
