Join embalmer Amanda King for a technical embalming-focused webinar that dives into the specialized techniques required for today’s more common complex cases. In this one-hour technical webinar, embalmer Amanda King will guide you through specialized embalming approaches for challenging cases, including autopsied remains, organ and tissue donors, and individuals presenting with edema or other restorative concerns.

You will gain valuable insight into chemical selection, injection methods, and case-specific preparation tips in addition to exploring color theory and cosmetic application strategies for complex post-mortem presentations, helping to enhance both preservation and presentation in difficult scenarios.
