Is there a way to keep your body from decomposing after you die? I am looking for an answer that funeral home
Answer:
Embalming merely forestalls decomposition, it does not in any way prevent it. Decomposition begins immediately after death and the embalming simply slows the process down considerably. One option might be plastinization, where instead of being filled with formaldehyde, it is a plastic material, and I don't know a whole lot about that or how long it lasts compared to a normal embalming. Cryonics would be the only other option. Take care!
Arsenic seems to work.
Freeze it
Formaldehyde.
Read up about Lenin's body.
Also, that artist dude who makes sculptures out of plasticized dead bodies...sorry, can't think of the name. Google dead body sculpture and you should have it.
If you had yourself mummified, even then your body would eventually deteriorate and besides it wouldn't look very good. About your best chance is to have it frozen, I think you can get yourself cryogenically frozen for about $100000 US although I'm not sure of the exact price. So long as the machines kept going, there would be very little deterioration, even over hundreds of years. It may also be possible to have your body sterilized with radiation and then sealed in plastic or something along those lines, but if anyone's doing that I haven't heard of it and it probably wouldn't be as effective as freezing.
one of the ways to preserve the boby after death is what is called Cryopreservation meaning presevation by cold.Body in this is kept in freezing temp of about -120 centigrate in liquid nitorgen.also by application of chemicals one can preseve bodies.Ever heard of Lanin?the great russian leader his body is kept preserved at the red square of stalingard.
crypto...freeze dried bodies...you unthaw them in the future..like austin powers..
Funeral homes use embalming fluid and refrigeration, but the body won't keep a thousand years. The closest is mummification that naturally happens in Guanjuato area of Mexico in high altitude or the ancient Egyptian mummies. But the corpse hardly looks like the day it became one.
Freeze-dry, actually. It is now common in taxidermy. Pets or trophy critters are freeze dried, in a sleeping position, eyes closed or open (with glass replacements, if open) and they look as they did the day they died. Even the fur looks good. Lots of people have their dogs and cats done this way..... grooooossssss but whatever. Otherwise as soon as the circulation stops, the bacteria in the gut that digested food, begins to digest the body, and embalming solutions are really ineffective.... some of them begin to ooooooze out the the pores even before the memorial service is over, staining the satin liner of a coffin. Arsenic compounds are bactericidal, but not perfect, and outlawed in some states because of a possible future murder investigation.
