Israel and Joseph were quite dedicated to honoring Abraham's precedent of being buried in Canaan, and Israel specifically wanted to be buried with his family in the cave Abraham bought from the Hittites.
it seems enbalming might have been a handy technology for Israel and Joseph rather than a cultic practice.
enbalming enabled Joseph to make the long journey back to Makpelah with his father's remains and it allowed Joseph's remains to be preserved until future generations could bring his remains back as well.
Expectations were low going into the match, as two hard-hitting franchises, not generally known for their scoring ability, faced each other in the middle of a blizzard.
The Spawn suffered a major setback before the match even started, as the Undead coach somehow managed to sneak some of his enbalming fluind into the Spawn's water supply, resulting in Spawn apothecary Melek Taos missing the game due to unstoppable vomiting and rookie beastman Shaggai suffering (hopefully) temporary brain damage from the poison.
Worse, on the opening play of the drive, on of the deadly Wu mummies injured front-line stalwart Klarash-ton with his first hit.
It is believed he attended the "Canadian School of Enbalming" at the Banting Institute in Toronto.
According to the Funeral Services of Ontario that would be the only place giving enbalming courses at that time.Once he did that Mr McNabb, it is said, gave the undertaking business to my grandfather, Agibe Achille Chenier.
He may have been there earlier, however as a business man his business establisment is first recorded in Timmins by the Provincial Funeral Services of Ontario as 1933, again under the name of CHENIER FUNERAL HOME, Manager: Chenier A.C. During these years it seems he ran his business successfully without any known major problems.
Ancient cultures made myrrh an integral part of religious rituals, medical practice, beauty treatments and perfumery.
Writings from over 2,700 years ago mention myrrh and its uses in enbalming, perfumery and incense.
Over 2,000 years before the Magi were said to have presented myrrh, frankincense and gold to baby Jesus, myrrh was a precious commodity along the spice route.
So there is a rememberance of Christmas and the joy associated with that even in the midst of the recognition of our suffering.
It is a remembrance made easier by the addition of the aroma of Cedar from Lebanon, which was also used as an ancient enbalming fluid.
By bringing a personal experience of sacrificial love into the auric sphere of the individual, this Quintessence offers the potential for a letting go into the acceptance of life.

Frankincense -- A sweet perfume used by priests in the temple, representing Jesus as the High Priest.
Myrrh -- An enbalming agent used on the bodies of the dead, representing Jesus as the one who would die for our sins.
Does anyone have any comments on the legitimacy of this, i.e., were these really the primary historical uses of these materials, are scholars trying to read too much into this text, etc? Is this a case of "sometimes a gift is just a gift"?

I can see him remebering how to use certain tools from seing them used around camp, maybe even how to set the leg trap/tree snare that was used in part 2.
But I doubt they were teaching enbalming or preservation techniques at the camp.
However his mom did work in a kitchen so he might have understood refrigeration and/or drying.
On Tuesday, my grandma passed away, and prior to her death, had made the decision to be cremated, with her remains flown back to the Hawaiian cemetery for services and burial.
In her pre-paid plan, she would have received traditional enbalming, casket, and inside services.
It was easier on everyone and according to my grandmother's wishes, that the change to cremation be done.

PUMP OUT THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM, REPLACE THE BLOOD AND PLASMA WITH THE ENBALMING SOLUTION, AND THAT'S ABOUT IT.
REGULAR ENBALMING FLUID WORKS DIFFERENTLY ON VARIOUS BODIES ACCORDING TO THE CAUSE OF DEATH.
WHILE IT WILL GIVE A PLEASANT PINK GLOW TO THE FLESH OF A VICTIM OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, WHEN IT IS USED ON SOMEONE WHO DIED OF JAUNDICE IT IMPARTS A GREEN TINGE THAT REQUIRES A LOT OF MAKE-UP TO CONCEAL.
None of those other bands get props not just for being retro, or being dancable, but also for being smart, and for melodies so delicate they sound like they could break under a raindrop.
We found some more enbalming fluid to pump into Keith Richards Tour!"

Upon hearing this news, my first thought was, "Well, they probably won't need any enbalming fluid."
