So, I've found some websites with step by step instructions of how it's done, but not written first hand experienced except for in the book Stiff, and the process is a bit glossed over there.
So a few questions about the tactile stuff.
At the point of embalming, are the eyes dessicated and sunken already?
What sound does a corpse make when a hole is poked in it? For example, when the jugular vein is punctured for purposes of putting the embalming fluid inside. Will any blood leak out, or is the blood pretty well thick and stagnant by then? How messy is it? Do you have to worry about spatter? Wear protective eye gear and aprons, etc.?
Does freezing damage the blood vessels to a point where using the circulatory system to deliver embalming fluids won't work?
If a corpse is frozen before rigor mortis sets in, will it set in while the corpse is still frozen? Or will it be flaccid after thawing and then get stiff a little while after defrosting?
What does it sound like when someone breaks rigor mortis in the limbs?
Sorry if any of the questions sound disrespectful, I couldn't think of any other way to ask them. And thank you for your time.
