The composition of the body is a fundamental service in the organization of a funeral, it must be carried out with professionalism and respect for the deceased person.
While waiting for the burial or cremation, the body is dressed and placed in such a way that the deceased is placed in the funeral home for the last farewell of relatives and friends before the funeral rite.
Relying on the Cattolica funeral company in Rome means being able to access a high quality care service for the deceased. Our thanatoesthetics professionals take care of the disinfection and cleaning of the deceased. The hair is cleaned and shaved, the hands and face are made up and sometimes reconstructed to give a natural appearance to the deceased and give relatives and friends a sense of serenity. In addition to the aesthetic part, our experts practice thanatopraxy, i.e. a conservative puncture that slows down the decomposition process of the body. The preservation of the body is more hygienic up to 10-15 days before burial.
The preparation of the body requires professionalism, respect and attention to make the deceased presentable in the eyes and memory of loved ones. A delicate phase, but necessary to honor the dearly departed.
By law, in normal conditions the body is closed a minimum of 24 hours after death.
In cases of sudden death or where there is a doubt of apparent death, 48 hours pass instead.
