Embalming I Mid-Term Questions with Correct
Answers
The Value of Embalming the dead human body from the public's
perspective Correct Answer-There are ethical, psychological, and
practical values of embalming that help maintain reverence for the dead
throughout the process. It provides proper care of the deceased,
opportunities for family members and friends to overcome the
psychological factors that come from attachment and separation, upholds
religious beliefs, and provides time for families to organize and
participate in funerals.
Discuss some of the reasons why embalming, as part of the American
funeral has declined over the past few years Correct Answer-There has
been a change toward more simplified disposition of the dead often
minimizing viewing of the deceased and if viewed, doing so with or
without standard embalming practices. There has been a rise in
cremation and direct burial services.
Discuss the difference between "cause of death" and "manner of death."
Correct Answer-The Cause of death is the disease, illness, or injury
responsible for killing the deceased. It is what actually took the life of
the individual such as a bullet, blood clot, etc.
The manner of death explains how the cause of death arose (natural
death vs. homicide). The manner of death helps explain what occurred to
cause the death.
, Discuss the FTC rule for obtaining permission for embalming a body
Correct Answer-Funeral directors must not suggest that a deceased
person has to be embalmed, but when it is chosen, they must seek
authorization from the family first. This gives the funeral home
permission, releases them from any issues that may result from the
embalming process, and holds the family accountable to pay for such
services.
Under the FTC rule, give the choices a family may have for disposition
when they do not wish to give permission for embalming Correct
Answer-Families can choose direct cremation, immediate burial, or a
closed casket funeral without viewing when refrigeration is available
and when state/local law does not require embalming
Embalming is described as the "temporary preservation" of the dead
human body. Discuss how long should an embalmed body remain in
recognizable preserved condition? Correct Answer-When informing a
family that embalming will provide temporary preservation of the
deceased, funeral directors should clarify the deceased will remain
recognizable through the funeral service and viewing. Do not guarantee
they will be recognizable for a longer period of time.
Define Embalming Correct Answer-As defined by the American Board
of Funeral Service Education, embalming is the chemical treatment of
the dead human body to reduce the presence and growth of
microorganisms, to temporarily inhibit organic decomposition, and to
restore the dead human body to an acceptable physical appearance. (i.e.
to disinfect, preserve, and restore the dead body)
