Episode 3: Dehydration in Embalming – Causes, Effects, and Proven Solutions
In this episode of Mortuary Masterclass, we take a deep dive into one of embalming’s most persistent challenges: dehydration. Drawing from Champion’s field research and decades of real-world testing, we explore how and why dehydration develops before, during, and even after embalming—and what embalmers can do to control it at every stage.
From pre-embalming factors like medical treatments, refrigeration, and delayed care… to the role arterial fluids, cavity chemicals, and humectants play during the embalming itself… and finally, to aftercare practices that protect tissues against post-embalming drying—we cover it all in practical, plain language.
Whether you’ve battled tight, rigid skin, worried about tissue browning from harsh chemicals, or simply want strategies that deliver softer, more lifelike results, this episode gives you the science-backed steps to prevent and correct dehydration in the prep room.
