Embalming as art and science of preserving dead bodies with
postponing decomposition using embalming fluid. The method
of preservation of cadavers is natural and non-natural. This study
involves an extensive search of journal articles to access the trend
of development of embalming technique that was developed after
many trials and errors. In this paper, we have briefly discussed
about the past, present and upcoming future technique of cadaver
preservation with recent advances and modification. We would
also like to recommend that new internationally recognized
standard on embalming technique should be developed so that
cadavers were excellently preserved and color remains natural.
