Does enbalming eliminate dead body odor?
This depends on how advanced of the decomposition the remains were in when they were received by the funeral. The longer it took for the body to reach there, the more difficult it will be to disinfect the body. Embalming, by itself, doesn't negate the body odor. But the process of embalming, which includes washing the body and disinfecting it as best as possible, reduces the body odor significantly. It should be noted that embalming is not designed to preserve the body - it simply delays its decomposition process. After embalming, the body may take more time to decompose, especially if the casket and the grave vault are sealed.
