peer agreement (net): +1post-mortem cosmetology Explanation: As a part of Restorative Art. I. Purposes of Post Mortem Cosmetology A. Cosmetics are applied to the visible parts of the deceased to achieve the following results: 1. Replace the coloring lost in death, illness, or embalming (the bleaching action of fluids as well as the flushing of blood from surface capillaries.) 2. Compensate for the absorptive effect of funeral illumination. 3. Present a well groomed appearance of the deceased. 4. Create a memory picture of peaceful rest...free from pain. 5. Accent or de-emphasize parts of the face or features. 6. Harmonize the complexion coloring with the color of the clothing and the casket interior. 7. Conceal discolorations 8. Match wax with the color of the complexion. The goal of post-mortem cosmetology is the achievement of a natural, non-cosmetic effect, simulating the appearance of color coming from within the skin. http://www.ucok.edu/funeral/Bill Lewis/BoardReview/CourseNot...
