What Funeral Professionals Are Saying

Feedback from funeral professionals using Genelyn embalming chemicals and
mortuary products. Based on real experience across different regions and working environments.

After years of working with different embalming chemicals and arterial fluids, Genelyn has completely changed the standard for what I expect from preservation and presentation. I have used many formaldehyde-based brands in the past, and while some produced acceptable results, none have matched the consistency, softness, color retention, and overall tissue quality that Genelyn delivers.

One of the biggest differences is how natural the deceased appears after treatment. With older or more traditional products, there was often excessive dehydration, rigidity, discoloration, or that unmistakable “over-embalmed” appearance that made restorative work more difficult. Genelyn produces a far more life-like presentation with excellent feature setting and significantly improved tissue texture.

The vascular distribution is remarkable, and even in more challenging cases the fluid performs with reliability and control. The reduced harshness compared to older-generation formaldehyde products also creates a much more comfortable working environment without compromising preservation quality. The results are clean, professional, and consistently impressive.

Once I started using Genelyn regularly, I genuinely had no desire to return to the brands I relied on previously. The difference in final presentation quality is immediately noticeable, both for professionals and for families viewing their loved ones. It has elevated the standard of care and presentation in a way that older formulations simply could not achieve.

In my experience, Genelyn stands in a category of its own. The quality, performance, and results are impeccable.

Embalming is both a science and an art. The science of preservation and the art of restoring a sense of peace, dignity, and life-like appearance to those no longer with us. Genelyn has established a modern standard of excellence by delivering a level of quality, consistency, and effectiveness that is truly unmatched in the profession.

I have proudly used Genelyn products for years, and they have never produced disappointing results. The fluids consistently provide high-quality embalming results while offering excellent disinfection, outstanding preservation, and remarkable life-like presentation. One of the qualities I appreciate most is the natural glow and appearance achieved, often allowing me to use little to no cosmetics. Unlike many other chemicals, Genelyn does not produce excessive fumes, blotching, or dehydration.

I have experienced cases where embalming results have remained exceptional for months without any visible signs of breakdown. My personal favourite is Ultra Red, which provides maximum preservation, optimal colour, flexibility, and moisture retention while continuing to embalm over time.

Having worked with many different chemicals throughout my career, I can confidently say that Genelyn has transformed my approach to embalming. Their commitment to innovation and excellence continues to raise the standard within our profession, and I would highly recommend their products to any embalmer seeking consistent, professional, and superior results.

I was not mad or disappointed with our previous supplier. I was only intrigued when I heard Karl talk about how Genelyn does not add methanol to their products. Because they do not add methanal, there are less fumes which makes their fluids non-flammable reducing shipping charges. The results are amazing. The decedents have a natural skin tone without splotching. If you have a decedent that has a high formaldehyde demand, you can use as many ounces of Arterial Ultra Natural that you need without fear of turning the decedent bright orange or pink. The skin texture will remain pliable.

Another benefit of using Genelyn embalming fluids along with Mortuary Washdown and Spotless Sanitize is our funeral home no longer smells like a funeral home!

I loved the results so much, I gave away our traditional fluid to our other locations.

The best product on the market, I have been embalming for 31 years and nothing even comes close to Genelyn North America products

Rob Jardine

Genelyn's Ultra Red 35 delivers exceptional and worry free results time and time again. A high index but amazingly versatile fluid. As an embalmer for 30 years, I can say this is an arterial the most uncompromising professional should not be without.

David Ayers
Ontario Funeral Director/Embalmer

Having previously used the “traditional” embalming chemicals with positive results, one use of Genelyn embalming chemicals and we were absolutely hooked!!  The natural skin appearance, achieves a “life like” result that all of our client families comment on.  Colour, distribution, retention, and preservation while still achieving natural flexibility is paramount given we are often working within extended timelines.  Our timelines dictate the use of a stronger chemical and our embalmers are always pleased given the minimal scent associated with Genelyn chemicals.

Cassandra Guishard
Ontario Funeral Director/Embalmer

I began using Genelyn Embalming Products in June 2016. Genelyn provides a simple yet comprehensive range of products. Having used many of the competing brands from various chemical companies, it was immediately obvious the benefits and differences in embalming results when using Genelyn over other brands. I was instantly surprised by the lack of fumes and chemical odor in the prep room while at the same time delivering very uniform and consistent penetration of the chemicals. Residual chemical odor was virtually nonexistent. The tissue remained very supple and natural. The cosmetic effect is extremely natural, with a smooth, uniform distribution and a noticeable lack of chemical splotching or spotting even when used in higher concentrations or when the tissue pH is not optimal. The need for external cosmetics is greatly reduced. The tissue texture and firming is very life-like and consistent throughout the products. With seven arterials that range in index from 20-35, the preservative power is evident while maintaining very natural tissue pliability and post embalming maneuverability. Three specialty chemicals that address edema, tissue gas and emaciation issues work extremely well for their given tasks. The reduced exposure is very important to embalmer safety and health. Genelyn New Form consistently registers extremely low exposure rates to embalmers and support staff in exposure testing. Many families we serve have a concern that the body will seem very stiff and ‘wood-like.' After using Genelyn this issue was completely resolved. Funeral directors that I have embalmed for in Japan without a great knowledge of embalming recognized the difference immediately after we changed to Genelyn. The subsequent feedback from the families confirmed they appreciated the natural feel and the minimal cosmetics used to achieve very pleasing results.

Having asthma has caused me some problems and discomfort while I embalm, but ever since I began to use Genelyn I no longer have to deal with asthma attacks at work! I am using even stronger indexes than I had before, because Genelyn offers a 35 index arterial and a 50 index cavity, and the noticeable lack of fumes is amazing. Not only is the embalmed tissue still soft and pliable while still being well preserved, I am not going home with red irritated eyes. The results I can achieve with Genelyn are mind-blowing and I highly recommend it!

Bullet proof work requires bullet proof chemicals.  Your work won’t advance if you don’t try the chemicals that evolve and change.  Ive used Eckels, Dodge, Frigid, and Esco….by far my favourite is Genelyn North America (Embalmer for 25 years)

Cory Wall - Licensed Funeral Director/Embalmer
Morris Funeral Home, Morris, Alberta, Canada

I have been embalming for 16yrs and am very impressed with the Genelyn North America chemicals. It embalms beautifully, no streaking and fluorescent areas of non distribution. It doesn't turn the deceased into stone. My full embalm that was a dressing 4 days later was still supple and maneuverable. I particularly like the fact the bottles have protective covers under the lid. The Petrichor is also one of my favorite's. I have used it to clean black mould, odour in the cool room and trays after embalming and it is amazing. I love the fact it is non toxic and 100% natural. I will definitely be using these products with confidence moving forward.

I was fortunate enough to be able to use Genelyn North America. I was quite impressed with the overall results, very natural in appearance in every aspect and very easy to use. In 46yrs of embalming, this is the most natural appearance that I have seen.

Rob
Tobin Brothers Funerals, Victoria

Genelyn North America embalming fluid delivers reliable preservation with noticeably reduced fumes, making it far more comfortable to work with. It distributes well, maintains natural tissue feel, and avoids excessive dehydration or rigidity. A well- developed modern fluid that supports both professional results and a safer working environment.

Joe
InvoCare, South Australia

Our mortuary was fortunate to trial quite a few Arterial chemicals from Genelyn North America and we have been super impressed with this line of products (especially the Taltex and Ultra Natural). We have been on the hunt for a range of arterials that have less of a harsher dye content and we have found a perfectly balanced warmth that consistently comes through. The Sanigel is a must for autopsies and topical packs where you just need the stuff to stick!!, loving this right now, low ordour and appears to have good penetrating qualities. Looking forward to getting my hands on Moisture Plus, as someone who uses a humectant for numerous applications it will be awesome to have a reliable supplier. So far, so good. Looking forward to trying more of the extensive range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything funeral professionals need to know about Genelyn embalming chemicals, mortuary supplies, safety documents, product use, and professional ordering.

Genelyn North America represents a completely different approach to embalming chemistry. While many traditional embalming fluid manufacturers have been in the industry for decades, much of the chemistry behind their products has remained largely unchanged. These formulations were developed many years ago and, although effective for their time, they were designed to address the conditions and challenges of a different era.

Today's world presents new challenges. Modern medications, treatments, and medical conditions have significantly changed the chemical demands placed on embalming fluids. Despite these changes, many manufacturers continue to rely on older formulations due to the costs associated with research, development, and reformulation, as well as the comfort of established market dominance.

At Genelyn North America, we believe innovation is essential. We are committed to developing modern embalming solutions using new chemistry and advanced formulations designed to meet the needs of today's professionals—not formulas developed 50 to 100 years ago.

Innovation is at the core of everything we do. We collaborate with leading chemists from around the world to research and develop safer, more effective products for the funeral profession. While formaldehyde remains the global standard in embalming chemistry, advancements in science are creating new possibilities for the future.

Stay tuned as Genelyn North America continues to lead the way with reduced-formaldehyde and zero-formaldehyde anatomical and embalming solutions designed for the next generation of funeral service professionals.

Yes, Genelyn North America is continually working to reduce toxic exposure for embalmers while maintaining superior end results.

Many manufacturers rely on high levels of methanol or masking agents in their formulations, which can be harmful to the user. Genelyn has reduced methanol levels by using modern chemistry to help stabilize formaldehyde in suspension while supporting product performance and workplace safety.

We also do not use glutaraldehyde in any of our products. Glutaraldehyde is a harsh aldehyde associated with significant health risks, and we believe there are better alternatives available through advanced formulation science.

At Genelyn, our focus is on modern chemistry that helps reduce exposure to harmful toxins while delivering the quality, reliability, and results professionals expect.

GENDX is Genelyn’s modern approach to describing preservation strength through advanced cross-linking preservation chemistry. Unlike traditional embalming fluids, which are typically classified by index numbers based on pure formaldehyde concentration per 100 mL of solution, GENDX provides a more comprehensive way to evaluate preservation performance.

As embalming chemistry continues to evolve, preservation effectiveness can no longer be measured solely by formaldehyde content. Genelyn’s second-generation formulations utilize advanced chemical technologies that enhance tissue fixation and preservation while optimizing overall performance.

The GENDX system allows professionals to better understand the true preservation capabilities of a fluid by considering the complete formulation and its preservation chemistry—not just the amount of formaldehyde present. This modern approach reflects the advancements in embalming science and provides a more accurate representation of product performance in today's embalming environment.

Safety Data Sheets and Certificates of Analysis are available directly on the Genelyn North America website. Funeral professionals can access SDS documents for product safety information and download Certificates of Analysis by batch number for quality assurance, traceability, and professional documentation.

Genelyn North America primarily serves funeral professionals, licensed embalmers, funeral homes, and approved distributors. Pricing is shown after login so customers can access the correct professional pricing, product availability, and regional purchasing details based on their account type and location.

Customers outside of North America we recommend you contact your distributor in your country for local pricing
