In this Dying to Know More Mini episode, we dive into the history of embalming, tracing its origins from ancient Egyptian mummification (and even before!) to the rise of embalming in the Civil War and its place in modern funeral traditions. Learn how embalming shaped the way societies honor the dead, why it became a central practice in the United States, and how its role continues to evolve — and perhaps decrease — in today’s death care. If you’re curious about embalming practices, this episode offers a concise, compelling exploration.
