When you think of embalming fluids, right away you think there is only one. Well let me fill you in with some information about this. There is many different types of embalming fluid. All depends on body and death. The skin color will change after death, dramaticly or not too much.
When mixing the embalming fluid for a small person, a small amount of fluids are needed. For a bigger person, using more fluids are for sure. Color is another issue sometimes. When a Peron dies, the skin color will change. Depending if they died from a disease, the color will change dramatically. Wasting the embalming fluid is not good because that fluid is very expensive.
This is where the embalming fluids matter. Fluids can make the body flexible or can make the body very stiff. When a person passes away in a bad car accident, more then likely, stiffer embalming fluid is needed. On the other hand, if the person passed away from natural causes, using the less stiffer one will do.
