This comprehensive text provides detailed instructions for embalming and body preservation, illuminating the scientific practices behind these procedures while addressing the important role that undertakers play in society. Renouard aims to elevate the profession by offering valuable insights into both the technical and human aspects of undertaking. The opening of the manual introduces the purpose and significance of the work, emphasizing the lack of prior comprehensive resources for undertakers in America. It discusses the need for a sound understanding of anatomy and physiological chemistry as vital for successful embalming practices. Through an introduction by Thomas Gliddon, the author sets a tone of professionalism and responsibility, suggesting that knowledge and skill will enable undertakers to manage their responsibilities with care and respect for the deceased and their families. Renouard outlines the necessity for a detailed grasp of the processes and conditions involved in preserving bodies, foreshadowing a meticulous and enlightening discussion in the subsequent chapters.
