WEBINAR: The Effects of Cold Temperature on Tissue With Ben Schmidt

The purposeful use of cold temperatures to prevent decomposition has existed for a long time. But what happens to the tissue itself? In this webinar we will explore the underappreciate postmortem change of algor mortis, the effects of cold on cells, dehydration induced by cold, and ways embalmers can address it.

Look forward to talk about:

• A brief history of human understanding and use of cold temperature for funeral purposes 
• Differences between natural and anthropic sources of cold temperature
• The effects of cold temperature on cells
• Embalmer solutions for the effects of cold temperature
