Embalming: Embalming is the art and science of preserving human remains by treating them (in its modern form with chemicals) to forestall decomposition.

 

As practiced in the funeral homes of the Western World, embalming uses several steps. Modern embalming techniques are not the result of a single practitioner, but rather the accumulation of many decades.

Embalming chemicals are a variety of preservatives, sanitizers, disinfectant agents and additives used in modern embalming to temporarily delay decomposition and restore a natural appearance for viewing a body after death.

At Mortuary Science Ireland Ltd, we have years of professional experience treating, restoring and presenting the deceased. Our Ethos of “Standards Before Anything Else” Keeps us very focused in this extremely privileged career. Our job here involves presenting and preserving someone's deceased loved one in a way that helps the grieving process.

From Natural Causes to Post Mortem Reconstruction, each of the deceased that we take into our care is treated with the dignity and respect they would have in life and our aim is to present these people according to each families wishes.

Coffin Plate Engraving

Our Roland EGX-20 professional engraving machine can carry out all your coffin plate requirements. The plates can be then immediately mounted our delivered to your premises.

Restoration of Trauma Cases

At the time of a death, whether expected or unexpected, it is still the hardest thing in life any of us will have to deal with, but we get to go through a process of grief which helps us deal with the loss. Part of this process involves saying our final goodbyes to our loved one whether it be in a Funeral Home Or at the deceased's own home. In the event of a death through trauma, events change dramatically. The shock alone of hearing that news is a devastating, heart breaking event which sends the recipient's mindset to a place where none of us would wish to be. Dealing with a traumatic death brings its own difficulties. Not having the ability to see or say goodbye to your loved one because of injuries can be a difficult concept to accept. Not always should a closed coffin be an option.

Here at Mortuary Science Ireland Ltd. we specialise in the restoration of badly damaged tissue caused from RTA’s, falls, stab wounds etc. Each case is assessed on an individual basis.
