[...] lorsqu’une thanatoplastie est nécessaire, elle se traduit par une réfection des parties détériorées lors d’accidents, de suicides, d’interventions chirurgicales, ou de prélèvements d’organes, ou lors d’autopsies. Ces parties telles le visage et les mains sont visibles lors de la présentation du corps. L’art restauratif est réalisé par l’utilisation de cires spécifiques, de produits cosmétiques, éventuellement de plâtre, et d’un savoir-faire professionnel.
