Why Embalm?
Why Embalm?
The benefits gained from using Naturensbalm are not only to be enjoyed by the professional embalmer, they also extend to the funeral business, the wider environment and of course, most importantly, to the families of the deceased.
Protection
The embalming process kills bacteria and viruses reducing the risk of cross-infection to those who come into contact with the deceased
Presentation
Where the casket is needed to be open, embalming can produce a more natural "sleeping" appearance.
Preservation
In the age where families are scattered across the globe, embalming affords you time for arrangements to be made and travel plans enacted.
Common Practice
The funeral industry estimates between 50% and 55% of cadavers in the UK undergo some form of embalming so they can be viewed by relatives. The practice has become more prevalent in recent years because of the growing length of time between death and funeral, caused by delays in obtaining paperwork.
An Environmentally Safe Alternative?
Currently, formaldehyde, a volatile acid, is a key component in common embalming practices, making up anywhere from 5 to 29% of the embalming fluid.
Naturensbalm aims to provide an eco-friendly alternative to formaldehyde formulas.

About Us

Administered by employing standard equipment and embalming techniques, this range is easy to use requiring minimal training and little transitional time. Its unique rehydrating properties will provide the deceased with a more natural appearance - as if "sleeping".
Naturensbalm Arterial and Cavity fluids have been tested by a UKAS accredited testing laboratory against EN 1650:2008 Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics. Both fluids passed the test demonstrating a 4 log reduction in viability under dirty conditions.
Naturensbalm is not a long-term embalming solution; it is a sanitizing process post-death pre-burial/cremation.
