I 23(f) have lost two close friends in horrific circumstances over the last few years. Can anyone explain to me why bodies,
particularly faces, looks so different after death – is it because they’ve been embalmed, or is it the human brain not being able to process what they’re seeing infront of them? Apologies if this is too gruesome for this sub, i think this might be me grieving and just trying to find some way to understand why.

One, they replace all the blood with embalming fluid so colors are not quite right, they apply makeup, and could also be the differences in skin hydration postmortem. That’s all I got, not a professional.
