There was no mention in th…

By Cody J. Sanders

….g., how the battlefield stopgap measure of embalming created a nascent profession of embalmers that soon solidified in the cultural imagination of a Good Death for the next 150 years). But, for now, let’s start with theory in a way that might spark imagination for future practice.
