Care and Restoration of the Deceased
Embalming
$700
Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as any services with an open casket viewing or transportation of the deceased outside the State of Texas by Common Carriers. If you do not desire embalming for your loved one, then you have the right to choose several arrangements that do not require you to pay for it, such as Direct Cremation, Direct/Green Burial. Embalming is a topical and arterial process with the use of humectants, emollients, and preservative chemicals. Embalming provides sanitation, temporary preservation and more significantly, the restoration of color and life-like features back to the deceased for a more natural perception during viewing.
