Are there different embalming fluids?
An embalming fluid in itself is made from various chemical solutions, each designed for that particular deceased’s situation or body condition. Formaldehyde and/or chemical solutions and water make up the fluid, which only helps preserve the body for a certain length of time before natural causes of decomposition sets in. Fluids are tinted to help make the body as “natural” looking as possible (removing the gray pallor of death). Hope this helps a bit.
