In what manner must human remains be stored according to proper standards?

Human remains must be stored face up at all times to ensure proper preservation and respect for the deceased. This position allows for adequate drainage of any bodily fluids and helps to prevent pressure sores that could occur from being in a different position for an extended period. Additionally, storing the remains face up aligns with procedures and protocols that ensure dignity during the handling and preparation process.

Proper standards for storing human remains include maintaining an appropriate temperature and environment to prevent decomposition and contamination. Options relating to temperature management or inappropriate handling do not adhere to accepted best practices in funeral service. The position and covering of remains must prioritize both ethical considerations and adherence to health and safety regulations.
