Dressing and thanatopraxy in Ostuni
Before lying in the chapel of rest the deceased is prepared with cleansing, dressing and, if the family so wishes, light make-up. These are gestures of care entrusted to trained staff, meant to give the person a composed appearance during the farewell.
Cleansing and dressing
The preparation starts with the washing and tidying of the deceased and continues with the dressing, in the clothes chosen and brought by the family. Light make-up can complete the preparation, for a serene lying in the chapel of rest.
Thanatopraxy treatments
Thanatopraxy is a treatment that slows the natural processes and preserves a serene appearance for longer, useful when the lying lasts several days or the coffin faces a long journey. It is carried out by specialised operators in compliance with health regulations.
