Funeral Fact Friday!

Ancient Egyptian embalming, or mummification, was a practice developed over **4,000 years ago** to preserve the body for the afterlife. The process involved carefully removing organs, treating the body with oils and natron (a natural salt), and wrapping it in linen. This meticulous care reflected the Egyptians’ belief that preserving the body was essential for the soul’s journey after death. Their methods not only honored the deceased but also laid the groundwork for modern embalming techniques used today.
