The thanatologist: more than just laboratory expertise

The thanatologist plays a central role in funeral services, although their role is often little known.

The laboratory team is responsible for the care provided to the deceased, whether it involves embalming for burial or sanitization for direct cremation. These procedures are performed with rigor and meticulous care to preserve the integrity of the deceased.

The work of a thanatologist also involves a significant aesthetic aspect. Through careful preparation, they help present the deceased in a way that accurately reflects their appearance, offering loved ones a comforting final image, which can play an important role in the grieving process. This includes, in particular, hair styling, makeup, and manicures.

At the Aeterna, thanatologists also assist in supporting the bereaved when necessary. The entire team works together to make the process as gentle as possible for families.
