Embalming Features

Reduce postmortem changes in the corpse By reducing various postmortem changes such as discoloration, drying, decomposition, and odor development, the time leading up to the funeral can be spent with peace of mind.
No dry ice required There is no need to place dry ice, which can be heavy and cold for the deceased. (Dry ice may be used in conjunction with dry ice depending on the condition of the deceased)
Expanding the style of funeral services Because there is more time available, it is possible to fully reflect the wishes of the deceased and the bereaved family in the funeral service, without being restricted by traditional funeral formalities.

A spacious funeral service is possible. Postpone the date due to crematorium, officiant, or work commitments. Even if you want to wait for attendees coming from far away, you can say goodbye to your loved ones to your heart’s content without being restricted by time.
Prevent secondary infection from the corpse Even if there are infectious diseases such as hepatitis, tuberculosis, HIV, MRSA, or new strains of influenza that could be transmitted secondarily from the body, embalming allows even small children or those who are not in good health to say goodbye while touching the deceased with peace of mind.

65.2% chance that the remains are contaminated with pathogens

Pathological autopsy results indicate that 65.2% of the remains are contaminated with some kind of pathogen, of which 14.4% are seriously infected (hepatitis, tuberculosis, etc.). These data also suggest that early embalming is effective.

Equipment

IMS JAPAN inc. embalming rooms meet the facility standards of the Inquest Sanitation and Preservation Association of Japan (IFSA).
Thorough sanitation and disposal procedures are implemented to prevent contamination and secondary infections caused by bacteria and viruses that could be transmitted from the remains.

Embalming

Air Conditioning Facilities

The Regulations on Prevention of Hazards Due to Specified Chemical Substances stipulate the concentration of formaldehyde (gas) contained in the chemicals used and require the installation of special ventilation equipment.
In addition to taking full consideration of the indoor working environment, a strict air conditioning barrier system is in place to prevent the spread of bacteria, viruses, and toxic gases outdoors. In addition, a wastewater treatment plant and sterilization exhaust ducts are installed to ensure safety and environmental friendliness.

Embalming

Wastewater Treatment Facilities and Waste

Wastewater and effluent discharged from the treatment facilities are sterilized, disinfected, concentrated, and treated in compliance with the Water Pollution Control Law, Sewerage Law, and local government ordinances.
Waste generated from the embalming facility is consigned to a specialized contractor as infectious waste. We maintain the same biohazard level as hospitals by strictly controlling sanitation and taking great care not to take contaminated materials outside the facility.
