"The embalming process involves removing the body fluids and replacing them with a solution of formaldehyde, often containing a pink dye. The body fluids are treated and disposed of via the public sewer. The embalming fluid normally consists of a 2% solution of formaldehyde, an irritant, volatile acid. "

I would plead that anyone who has the very sad burden of arranging a funeral refuse the embalming (often called hygienic treatment) process unless there is a good need for it.
If there is no intention to view the deceased more than a day or two after death there is absolutely no need for this process.

Formaldehyde is an aldehyde, not an acid, if i was an acid it would be formic acid. It is however very acrid.
