6 Things all Embalmers need to know about COVID-19

  • COVID-19 is transmitted by droplet contact only, it is not airborne
  • Close quarter infection rate is 0.45% with risk of 10.5% for those living with an infected person (CDC Feb.26)
  • COVID-19 is an enveloped virus making it very susceptible to inactivation by a wide range of disinfectants
  • It is recommended to increase your embalming solution to a 3-4% minimum for suspected or confirmed cases
  • All remains should receive a thorough terminal cleansing using a hospital grade disinfectant, following procedures
  • An N95 or greater mask that has been properly fit-tested, should be worn throughout when handling all remains

How To Handle The Deceased

Taking care of the dead during the COVID-19 pandemic has the deathcare profession’s undivided attention as we all seek the latest perspective on best practices during this unprecedented time. The first in this Q&A series focused on How to Handle the Deceased. Moderated by ICCFA General Counsel, Poul Lemasters, our guests included Mat Forastiere, Jim Starks and Karl Wenzel, who shared their hands-on operational knowledge and experiences from a cemetery, cremation and embalming perspective.
