Embalming in the USA, by Jessica Mitford.

This essay is so weird. Its disturbing. To just think about the process of embalming a dead human being. All the removal of the bloody, gushy insides. The insertion of the embalming liquid. The preparation and attatchment of severed and missing body parts. The make-up. Its quite disgusting and morbid. But the detail and order in the essay is really amazing.
