What does the Embalming of a Loved One involve?
Preparation and embalming are processes carried out with respect, care, and professionalism to preserve the dignity of your loved one. At Funeraria El Alba, every step is performed by trained personnel, following strict hygiene and biosafety protocols.
During preparation, your loved one is cleansed, dressed, and given an aesthetic arrangement that allows the family to say goodbye in peace. In cases where more preservation time is needed — such as extended wakes or international repatriations — embalming is performed, a specialized procedure that maintains your loved one in proper condition for an extended period.
Our commitment is to provide peace of mind and accompaniment to families, ensuring that your loved one receives the care they deserve.
Types of Embalming we perform
Every family has different needs. That's why we offer three types of embalming tailored to each situation:
Embalming (For Wakes of Up to 72 Hours)
This service includes the cleansing, dressing, and aesthetic arrangement of your loved one. It is ideal for short wakes or burials carried out the same day or the day after. The entire process is performed with care and respect, ensuring a dignified and natural presentation.
Embalming or Thanatopraxy (For 72 Hours and Beyond)
Embalming is a specialized treatment that allows your loved one to be preserved for a longer period. This process is recommended when the family needs to extend the wake for several days or perform a transfer within the country.
Our staff has the proper training and products to ensure safe and respectful preservation.
Embalming for International Repatriation
In cases where your loved one will be transferred outside the country, we perform a specialized embalming following the health and legal requirements necessary for repatriation. Funeraria El Alba coordinates the entire process, ensuring every detail is in order.
