Thanatoaesthetic and Funeral Cosmetology

Thanatoaesthetic treatment is widespread in the United States, in some European countries and has been practiced for a long time in Japan, where it plays a central role in funeral rituals.

In Italy it is also now  possible to resort to this treatment.

What is Funeral Cosmetology

LE CROCI Funeral Home have been operating in this sector for years. Funeral cosmetology  is a restorative art and, more specifically, it is a combination of aesthetic treatments aimed at preserving and cosmetically conserving the body of the deceased

Thanatoaesthetics,   with its name of Greek origin, or more commonly known as funeral cosmetology,  is a treatment that refers to all the care and attention aimed at improving the aesthetic appearance of the deceased.

Being a branch of  Thanatoproxy ( embalming ), it belongs to a broader and more complex set of treatments, which all aim for the same result,  namely the postponement of the  normal decomposition process and the conservation of the body of the deceased in the best possible condition before burial.

Funeral cosmetology  is a practice that deals with the aesthetic aspect of the deceased but also with the psychological implication that the viewing of a body can have on friends and family who will have a less traumatic last memory and will see their loved one in a more life like way.

What is required to be able to perform Funeral Cosmetology

Before intervening, it is necessary that a regular certificate of death has been issued by the registrar, that the deceased has not died from  contagious infectious diseases and that the body has not been ordered to remain available to judicial authorities.
