Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Embalming slows the decay of bodily tissues but does not achieve permanent preservation. It is not mandated by federal regulation for all dead bodies, is not universally experienced in all parts of the world, and there are specific circumstances under which embalming might be required for transportation on a common carrier, but it is not an absolute requirement.
