Don’t Panic, Our White Lady Embalmers Have It All Under Control
By - Jeremy G
As funeral planners, we often get asked, "Do funeral planners have to handle the body?"
The short answer is no.
That responsibility lies with the embalmer, and at Nirvana Asia, we have a special all-female team, known as the White Lady embalmers, dedicated to this important work.
What is Embalming?
Embalming is the process of preserving a dead body to delay decomposition, making it suitable for funeral viewings or burials.
Embalmers use chemical solutions—primarily formaldehyde—to sanitise and preserve the body.
But their role goes beyond preservation.
They also restore the appearance of the deceased, often using makeup to help grieving families feel a sense of comfort during open-casket viewings.
The Role of Embalmers in Decedent Care
Embalmers are skilled professionals responsible for decedent care.
This involves:
-
Washing the body
-
Setting facial features
-
Injecting preservatives into the circulatory system to slow decomposition
-
Applying makeup to give the deceased a peaceful appearance
The embalming process preserves the body for several days and helps conceal signs of trauma or illness, allowing the family to have one last dignified viewing of their loved one.
Nirvana Asia’s White Lady Embalmers
Nirvana Asia offers a special service with its White Lady embalmers.
Dressed in white uniforms symbolising purity and care, the White Lady team offers services that go beyond embalming, including the careful application of makeup and other preparations to ensure the deceased is presented beautifully for the final farewell.
This all-female team is trained to handle female decedents with intimate care, ensuring they are prepared for their final journey with respect and dignity.
While they handle all genders, Nirvana Asia is committed to using this specialised team for women, providing a culturally sensitive service that reflects family values.
Remains Spa Treatment and Restoration
Nirvana Asia’s remains spa treatment is a key part of the White Lady service.
This includes:
-
A full-body cleansing ritual
-
Massaging the body to relax muscle stiffness
-
Applying custom makeup to restore the deceased’s natural appearance
For cases involving trauma, injury, or illness, the team also performs cadaveric restoration to repair the physical appearance of the body.
In some cases, dry ice may be used to preserve the body if embalming isn’t possible.
This process not only helps the deceased look peaceful but also provides closure to the grieving family.
The Importance of Decedent Care
In many cultures, particularly in Asia, how the deceased appears during the funeral is a vital part of the grieving process.
The White Lady embalmers are skilled in makeup application and facial restoration, ensuring that the deceased looks serene, which is important for families saying their final goodbye.
It’s not just about preservation—it’s about helping families find peace during a difficult time.
