THANATOPRAXIE in beeld

Thanatopraxie is een methode om een lichaam tijdelijk te conserveren, zonder dat daarvoor koeling nodig is. Het is bedoeld om het ontbindingsproces af te remmen en het lichaam toonbaar te houden vanaf het moment van overlijden tot aan het moment van de uitvaart.

De naam is afgeleid van de Griekse woorden voor de dood, θάνᾶτος (thanatos) en voor handeling, πρᾶξις (praxis). In tegenstelling tot bij balseming, is het dus niet de bedoeling om het lichaam langdurig te conserveren.

Voor Rouwservice Nederland (RSN) vestiging Eindhoven heb ik in samenwerking met Martin Beek van MBALM een beeldreportage gemaakt. Deze bevat dermate gedetailleerde close-up opnames, die niet geschikt zijn voor openbare publicatie.
