When a dead body is placed in ice there is no way for bacteria to grow or insects to reach it. The cells are literally frozen in place and prevent the body from decaying.

How long after a person dies that has been embalmed does it take them to turn into a skeleton?

AnswerThere are many variables that will affect the time the body will remain preserved. Typically a few years will see the body decomposed to skeletal remains. Those buried underground will last longer then those in above ground crypts. Placed in a controlled environment, a body can be preserved for decades, particularly if the embalming is 'refreshed' on a regular basis, such as Lenin's body in Moscow.
