Seems weird that she wasn't properly checked out by a doctor though when she wasn't even cold

Embalming is not done as standard, you have to request it specifically when ordering the funeral. I have already done my will and funeral plan and embalming is something I have specifically requested. No way do I want to be cremated, so embalming will ensure that I am actually dead when I'm buried! Ever since I read the Dennis Wheatley novel "The Ka of Gifford Hillary" I've been terrified of being buried alive.
