520 _a"Prof. E. H. Crane's Manual of Instructions to Undertakers" is a specialized guide written in the late 19th century. This informative text provides detailed instructions for undertakers on the best practices for preserving the dead, with particular emphasis on techniques such as arterial injection using Crane's patented Excelsior Preservative. The manual serves as an educational resource for those in the profession, focusing on methods to maintain lifelike appearances of the deceased while ensuring hygienic practices. The opening portion of the manual introduces the author’s goals in providing a comprehensive resource for undertakers, suggesting that the knowledge contained within is invaluable for proper embalming techniques. It begins with a historical overview of ancient embalming practices, particularly citing Egyptian methods, and then discusses the evolution of these techniques into more effective contemporary practices, notably featuring his Excelsior Preservative. The text highlights the importance of accessibility to accurate information for undertakers, asserting that it is essential for both professional skill and the respectful handling of the deceased, while cautioning against inferior or dangerous embalming fluids.
