Embalming
Safe long-term preservation of remains
Family and friends who are far away can also say goodbye in person in a relaxed atmosphere.
What’s EmbalmingWhat’s Embalming ?
Embalming is a scientific procedure with three purposes: embalming, quarantine (infection prevention), and restoration (cosmetics) in order to provide the bereaved family with a “better farewell” to the deceased. By injecting embalming fluid into the body using the blood vessels and irrigating and immobilizing the whole body, it sterilizes the deceased, is safe for public hygiene, inhibits decomposition, and allows for safe preservation of the body for about two weeks. This prevents unforeseen changes in the body and provides a dignified farewell for the deceased.

What embalming can do for you
We can fulfill the wishes of distant relatives and friends who wish to meet and say goodbye at first sight… and of the bereaved family who wish to say goodbye slowly and without regrets.
We believe that the best way to care for the bereaved family members is to allow them to spend their final days without regrets or worries.

Embalming, quarantine, restoration, and psychological care
Embalming is a “sanitary preservation” procedure that preserves the body for a certain period of time by “embalming”, “quarantine (prevention of infection)” and “restoration (cosmetics)”, and also brings the body back to its natural state, reminding us of the healthy days before life. When a precious person passes away, this procedure is performed to protect the dignity of the deceased and to give them a better farewell.
Embalming also has a significant role to play as “grief care” for the bereaved family and loved ones.
We accompany the grief of the bereaved family by “bringing the deceased closer to his or her former life”, the image of that day in the heart of the deceased.

About Grief Care
We will help the bereaved family members to say their final goodbyes in a peaceful atmosphere.
Embalming as Grief Care
Many bereaved families request embalming in memory of the deceased and for the deceased’s sake.
Embalming is a time for the family and friends of the deceased to say their final farewells peacefully, with the deceased as he or she was,
It also serves as “grief care,” psychological care to help people live their lives without regrets beyond that point.
At IMS JAPAN, we place great importance on taking care of the pure hearts of the bereaved families.
Grief care
For a better funeral
Being able to say goodbye in person.
I am sure that many of you felt the importance of being able to say goodbye to your loved ones face to face after experiencing the Corona disaster. Whether or not we were able to say goodbye to them face to face and what kind of face they had? It is believed to have a great influence on the final results for the bereaved families.
We believe that the best we can do for embalming is to provide sufficient time for the bereaved family to say goodbye in a comfortable manner and to say goodbye with the image of that day in their hearts.

Embalming: Three Elements
PreservationPreservation
Without the use of dry ice, various postmortem changes, such as decomposition and odor, are controlled. By having a relaxed time to say goodbye without worrying about such changes, the family can spend time together until they are satisfied and can say goodbye without regrets.
DisinfectionDisinfection
It is possible that some bacteria or viruses may be present in the remains. In particular, blood and body fluids may contain a wide variety of bacteria and viruses. By quarantine (prevention of infection), you can touch the deceased with peace of mind.
Restoration (Cosmetic)Restoration (Cosmetic)
For those who have lost a part of their face due to illness, accident, cancer, etc., we can restore the face and bring it as close as possible to the face in the memories of the bereaved family. Many people wish to have this restoration done in order to help the bereaved family members to overcome their problems and to give them a peaceful memorial service.
Make-up in embalming is “to reproduce the natural shape and color of the deceased”. We apply make-up as well as restoration in order to express the deceased’s original appearance as much as possible.
