Post-mortem care is the care given to a deceased person in preparation for burial or cremation. As a healthcare provider, to give proper post-mortem care you need a post-mortem kit which may contain the following items: tags, gloves, a comb, paper towels, a bath blanket, cotton balls, washcloths, bed protectors, towels, clean gowns, a wash basin, clean linens, soap, etc. In some cases, post-mortem care may involve an autopsy, which is the examination of the body to determine the cause of death. Post-mortem care is a delicate and sensitive process, and medical professionals who provide these services must be aware of the special needs of family members during this difficult time.
