Despite Cancer Risk, Embalmers Stay With Formaldehyde
Ancient Egyptians preserved skin and organs
Bone and teeth
Rubbed with salt, annointed with oil
Wrapped in white linen
Civil War soldiers were preserved with arsenic
And sent home rotting in rough hewn caskets
Now formaldehyde gives our dead the “everlasting effect”
As it slowly embalms the embalmer
