What is the term for the care of the body after death?

  1. The care of the body before death

  2. The care of the body during illness

  3. The care of the body after an injury

  4. The care of the body after death

The correct answer is: The care of the body after death

The term for the care of the body after death is indeed the correct choice. This process typically includes procedures such as preparing the body for viewing or burial, as well as ensuring that the remains are treated with respect and dignity. It may involve cleaning the body and positioning it appropriately, as well as possibly involving legal and cultural considerations surrounding the deceased. In contrast, the other options focus on care that occurs in different contexts, such as before death, during a period of illness, or specifically after an injury, which do not pertain to post-mortem care.
