This is the skill of preserving a corpse for a limited duration. Usually used to reduce odour, some cultures & religions have viewing ceremonies before interment or disposal of the corpse. As this skill also reduces visible decay, coupled with a competent cosmetician, this can make the viewing much less painful for the family. Mummification requires at least journeyman ability.
