When a person dies & is embalmed, that person has to wear all new clothing? Why?

They don't.  Most families pick their favorite outfit to bury them in not something new.  I don't believe they put shoes on them either.

I think it depends on your culture (some don't allow embalming and other preparations).  For bodies that will be embalmed, made up and "prepared" for burial, they do sew the eyes and mouth shut.  One of the many reasons I think cremation is the way to go.

When the person is to be cremated, we always bathe the body and either dress is in clothes that the family brought in or in a clean hospital gown.  We do this out of respect for the deceased.  Embalming is not required by any state laws, however it is necessary for a public visitation.  And yes, we undress and bathe the body during the embalming process.  We apply cosmetics to make them look natural and not so pale.  Hope this helps, take care!

It is known as 'hypostasis' or Post Mortem staining.  All body fluid sinks to the lowest level.  The nurses in hospital pack the orifices with cotton wool and bind the legs together.  Incidentally, it is a very big part of a murder investigation as it leaves impressions of where the dead person has been lying, i.e., tiles, rough ground, etc.

yes, and i donate bloond too. when i die i think they will take any parts that are useable. they can have any thing they want i will not need it where i am going(hevean). when my cousion died on oct 11 they took his eyes, and bones . they most likly took other things too. i guess you could tell his bones were taken because if you tuched him he would of felt soft.

Even if you have your eyes closed when you die, the muscles relax and the eyes open again.  That's why they used to put coins on the eyes of the dead--to keep them shut.  Now the undertaker just sews them closed.\nI always thought maybe people died with their eyes open because they wanted one last look at the world.

I would guess No...\n\nThis is because once your dead, your tissues, muscles, nerves , and organs aren't functioning.\n\nThis could be true if it were a couple seconds after his death... because it would be closely remniscent to a story where someones head got chopped off, andd he could see his own body from the ground. And that is a true stroy since your nerves in your head continue to funmction for a couple of seconds more...\n\n~LG23~

Maybe a momento to honor the deceased.  Otherwise the only other thing would probably be flowers.

The energy that was stored in your body dissipates into the atmosphere, your body begins the process of decay, people who cared about you mourn you for a bit, you are either cremated or filled with embalming fluid after your organs and blood are removed, the rest of the world moves on with life and death.  Pretty much the same thing that happens to everyone...

An old woman died. She left a very specific will that says she wanted all her pallbearers( the one who will carry her coffin)  to be all  women. \nWhy?? She said because if no man want to take her out when she was alive why would they carry her when she is already dead. ha!!\nha!! LOL!!!

I would think it would depend on whether there is going to be a viewing or not and whether they are being cremated or burried.  When I die, I definitely do NOT want to be embalmed and I will also be cremated, thx.

what happens when a person dies?\n\nWhat exchanges old for new, offers no special deals or closeouts, and keeps us coming back for more?\n\n You were. You will be! \nKnow this while you are. \nReincarnation is the natural \nprocess of recycling human energy through \nbirth, growth, decay and death. \nEach rebirth is a link in one's eternal chain \nof latent impressions, thoughts, desires and actions. \nThe soul in its new body is given the opportunity \nto learn from the past, to live the present and to prepare for the future. Reincarnation: Why Believe?Once I have begun to base my sense of ‘who I am’ on perceiving myself as a soul rather than on perceiving only my temporary costume, the body, I deeply realize that, as a being of spiritual energy giving life to the body, I am immortal. I begin to understand that I change bodily costumes just as a snake sheds its skin, but I – the eternal soul – can never die.\n\nDeath and Rebirth\nAt the moment of physical death, the soul withdraws its energy from the organs of the body and vacates its seat in the middle of the forehead. It takes with it the impressions accumulated in that life and enters into the body of an unborn baby, while that new body is still being formed in its mother’s womb. This normally happens between the fourth and fifth month of pregnancy. A human soul only enters a human body. The type of body the soul enters and the conditions of birth are determined by the past actions of the soul in its previous life or lives, and the cumulative account of give and take that it has built up with other souls. Without proper understanding of this process, the leaving of one body and the taking of another is often an experience of great fear and anguish; but the details of the old life are soon obliterated by new experiences so that the soul is not overwhelmed and confused by past memories.\n\nReincarnation: What You Take With You\nBy the time the baby’s body and brain are developed, the soul has all but forgotten the past and become accustomed to its new conditions and to the parents of its new body. However, although the soul cannot usually remember details of its past life or lives, it carries with it—in the form of attitudes, tendencies and personality—the cumulative effect of all that it has experienced and learned. All that is genetically brought to the new life is the physical make-up of the body, the racial type, the colour of eyes, shape of nose and so on. And although the environment in which a child is raised – as well as the personalities of those around the child – definitely exert an influence on the child’s development, its tendencies and reactions to people and events are not biologically generated but are inherent in the soul from previous existences. Those predominant impressions recorded in the past life soon begin to manifest themselves and are expressed in the new surroundings.\n\nRelationship in Other Lifetimes\nHuman life is based on inter–relationships between souls, which in turn are based on the different impressions present in each. These impressions determine the course of life, the nature of the soul’s activities and its physical placement in a particular environment. Thus there is typically a link or an ‘account’ between two souls who have formed a relationship in one lifetime; that link will bring them together again in other lifetimes. This explains why many people have the sense of having met or known a person before, even though they are apparently meeting for the first time. Or they experience meeting someone with the feeling of either attraction or repulsion even though they don’t know them well enough in the current life to have developed those feelings. What is taking place is that the soul is recognizing the other soul – even though they have different bodies – from the last time they met.\n\nReincarnation: Process of Rebirth\nReincarnation is a process of rebirth. With each death comes a new birth an

You would need to call the cemetary office where the body is buried OR the one you want to have the body reburied at.

Embalming as practiced in the funeral homes of the Western World uses several steps. Modern embalming techniques are not the result of a single practitioner, but rather the accumulation of many decades, even centuries, of research, trial and error and invention. A standardized version follows below but variation on techniques is very common.\n\nThe first thing an embalmer should do is verify the identity of the deceased (normally via wrist or leg tags) and perform basic tests for signs of death, such as clouded-over corneas, lividity, and rigor mortis. While people awakening on the mortuary table is largely the province of horror fiction and urban myth, testing for death is still a final additional precaution. Any clothing on the corpse is removed and set aside; jewelry, also, is inventoried. A modesty cloth is then placed over the deceased's genitalia for dignity. Following this the corpse is washed in disinfecting and germicidal solutions, shaved, and groomed. The embalmer bends, flexes and massages the arms and legs to relieve rigor mortis. The eyes are closed and kept closed with an eyecap that keeps them shut and in the proper expression. The mouth may be closed via suturing with a needle and ligature, using an adhesive, wire or a needle injector, a specialised device most commonly utilised in North America and unique to mortuary practise. Care is taken to make the expression look as relaxed and natural as possible and ideally a recent photograph of the deceased while still living is used as a template. The process of closing the mouth, eyes, shaving etc is collectively known as setting the features.\n\nThe actual embalming process usually involves four parts:\n\nArterial embalming, which involves the injection of embalming chemicals into the blood vessels, usually via the right common carotid artery. Blood is displaced from the right jugular vein. The embalming solution is injected through a mechanical pump and the embalmer massages the corpse to ensure a proper distribution of the embalming fluid. In case of poor circulation, other injection points are used. \nCavity embalming, the suction of the internal fluids of the corpse and the injection of embalming chemicals into body cavities, using an aspirator and trocar. The embalmer makes a small incision just above the navel and pushes the trocar in the chest and stomach cavities to puncture the hollow organs and aspirate their contents. He then fills the cavities with concentrated chemicals that contain formaldehyde. The incision is either sutured closed or a "trocar button" is screwed into place. \nHypodermic embalming, the injection of embalming chemicals under the skin as needed. \nSurface embalming, which supplements the other methods, especially for visible, injured body parts. \nMost good embalmings are completed in two or three hours, although an easy case may take less and complicated cases can take days.

It depends. The funeral can be a "closed casket" if the family requests it or if person died from a trauma that resulted in disfiguration or if there is a lot of deterioration.
