Background: In many respects the embalment of dead bodies with Formaldehyde is harmful for the health of embalmers. Therefore there is need to develop methods that are potentially less harmful. Methods: In this study we tried to develop a new method for embalment which is less harmful. In this method we preserved five bodies with the help of a specially constituted solution containing Sodium Pentachlorophenate and Sorbitol besides other ingredients. Results: Our results were encouraging as all the five bodies were used in summer heat for more than two months without any problems.
