For the mortician, what should be conveyed if the body is not for autopsy, for example embalming, are there instructions?
I think there are traditions, cultural ways of doing this in different parts of the world, the Tibetan and the Buddhist world also, but I think this is not that important. So I think this should be according to the ways in that particular area, or the land, or the country or the culture, I think it is better done in that way as it’s not so important.
