Answer:
Ritual and Embalming are two rights of passage to use in the modern world.
Rituals also offer a sense of belonging. “Rituals connect us to groups, they connect us to the divine, they suggest a deeper world of meaning beyond the mundane habits of the everyday,” Ochs said. “They can transcend time, connecting us to our ancestors and to those who will come after us.”
Modern embalming is most often performed to ensure a better presentation of the deceased for viewing by friends and relatives. A successful viewing of the body is considered to be helpful in the grieving process.
