Embalming fluid is a mixture of formaldehyde, methanol, and ethanol. These are all chemicals most cheaply made from petroleum. In the U.S. the annual useage would fill eight Olympic-size pools or 20 million liters.
Eventually, these chemicals leach into the soil, underground aquifers, streams and lakes, rivers and oceans. Europe classifies formaldehyde as a Class 1 carcinogen.
A big price to pay to be able to say, "Oh, doesn't s/he look nice!"

WALLIS: Radiation from a nuclear power reactor would reduce us to a pillar of salt, according to one highly respected source.
Or, as we turn from old fossils to dead fossils, they could just chuck us into a fossil fuel boiler at a power generating plant. It might make for better grades of driveway cinders and cinder blocks.
I awoke this morning with a childhood song on my brain:
The worms crawl in,
The worms crawl out.
They crawl in your nose
And out your mouth. UGH!
Vain unto death, vain after death. Pump me full of a couple of gallons of embalming fluid and I may look pretty good arriving at the Pearly Gates. If St. Peter said, "You look good, Mr.P.!", I think I'd just die!
Producing all of those petrochemicals for embalming does keep dozens of chemical engineers gainfully employed.
Do we want to be filled with stuff made from imported Arab oil? What were we thinking? What are we thinking now? Never mind, we aren't. It's just too horrible to think about now. We'll think about that tomorrow.

People who are buried with embalming fluid should be ashamed of themselves!
What happens if St. Peter has a Breathalyzer and detects all that embalming alcohol in one's system?
[Sung to the tune of "Home on the Range"]
Oh, give me a pyre,
A hot wood-burning fire,
Where the sparks barbecue me away;
And never is heard
A disparaging word,
And the skies are not smoky all day.
Attend the grassroots meeting to support "Prohibition of Embalming Fluid". Cokes will be $5.00, alcoholic drinks free. Get pickled!
What if one's soul is in one's blood stream and it is drained out to make way for embalming fluid???
Well, I'll be a mortified mortician!
With my Alzheimer's, my next chest pain may make me call out, "Quick! Call me a hearse!"
Would a self-respecting maggot eat a buried mortician?
