Actually, embalming isn't really necessary anymore, if the dead person is to 
be buried quickly.  Embalming arose, in part, as a way of making sure the 
person was really dead.  Today's medical arts allow us to determine that a 
person is truly dead before sending them to the mortician.  (I have this on 
the authority of an undertaker who goes to my church.)
