A member asked:
I was wondering what does a mortician do with body fluids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If a body is not embalmed, the body fluids are left in the body. If a body is embalmed, the body fluids are replaced with fluids containing formalin (formaldehyde). The body fluids are then disposed of.
