Sorry about your loss. If you have never been involved in planning a funeral for a family member, you almost ceretainly have all kinds of questions. Whatever professional you are working with, do not be afraid to ask him or her. Those in the business are typically happy to answer any question you may have.





If he was embalmed, he is likely being kept on a wheeled table, dressed in a hospital gown, until time to dress him and place him in the casket, if that is the type of arrangements you chose. It would be in a regular room, refrigeration would not be necessary if he were embalmed.


If he were not embalmed, he would need to be kept refrigerated until time for whatever method of final disposition you selected, either cremation or direct burial without embalmig. This would be done either on a table with wheels, or a large drawer type of affair, depending on what kind of equipment the particular location may have.What now? After Death?? Embalming process?

Bodies are kept in refrigerated compartments until the funeral director is called to pick up the body. They then prepare it for viewing; which includes embalming; removing bodily fluids. Please do not focus on this procedure or the condition of his body, etc. I know it is a body that you loved, but please try to remember that the body is only a shell. His spirit is eternal and will be with the Lord for a saved person.
if you really need the info you can search it on the web. Give the grieving process some time, and as you are doing now never be afraid to talk about it.
After death, a body is kept in a refrigeration unit until it is embalmed. When a body is embalmed, a formaldehyde solution is pumped through the circulatory system which replaces most of the blood. The formaldehyde binds the proteins of the muscles together so that they won't decompose as quickly (this can preserve them for many years). Having been a funeral director before, I can assure you that they will take very good care of your brother. I am sorry for your loss.
so sorry for your loss.. you sound like you might need a grief counsler to help you deal with your loss.. but this is still very fresh.. the pain will ease but never go away.. you have to remember the good stuff and things.. i just lost my father not long ago.. i have a sister not dealing with it well and wont get help.. please if you have a hard time with it talk to someone and lean on each other for support..know the details of that other stuff wont help you right this moment i would think.. but later after its all done and time has passed you can talk to the ones that took care of that stuff and they can show you around and tell you more.. maybe by then you wont be as curious.. need to focus on what a good man he was and the good things.. the things that he did to make you laugh at him and the things that you all did together.. memories will be what you hold on to and look back too.. good luck, god bless you and your family
all i know is they drain your blood and fill it with this fluid that holds off the decaying for a while...it is very hard to deal with a loss. i recently lost my aunt and uncle unexpectedly and it was very hard. I've found only time heals, and that there was no sense is laying around and moping because that is life. nothing is promised and you cant bring them back. good luck and feel better
I am so sincerely sorry for your loss. To get right to your question; the funeral director is a professional. He will be very careful with your brother. My Son went to Mortuary School. They will wash and care for his remains. They will remove the blood by draining it with surgical tubes. It is all a very careful and clean process. Then they will put embalming fluid in to help preserve him and sterilize him in case of germs and decease. It is a very careful process. They are kept in a cooler room. Its not a freezer. My sister passed away on my birthday suddenly in September; my brother-in-law in October. I, too have been going through the pain of the loss. They really are happier, now. No pain. They know your hurting. They love you and will always be near you. I believe that. Life is the blink of an eye, they say. Don't worry you'll see them again. It feels like a long time to you; but in the big scheme of things; it's no time at all.
I can feel your trauma. If he was helpless and sick it was GOD'S way of relieving him of his pains.would you have liked to see your ';baby'; in pain for a longer time. GOD has taken him and he at peace now.come out of your trauma and help your sis in law to bear this loss. may GOD give you strength.
May God bless you with all you need to understand that death it is only a way to the everlasting life...we all go there. Please pray for his soul, and try to be real Christians!
I am so sorry for your losses. Don't worry. They are in a better place and they will always be there, even though you can't see them.





I think you should try GOOGLE to search for this sort of information about the death process.
Try to come back as a groovy cat....
