Those commercials at the beginning of Six Feet Under got me wondering, how does one market embalming supplies? What the hell does a bottle of embalming fluid even look like (colorful, I found out, it plays as much role in restoring a body's look as make-up does). It's clearly a small, tightly–knit market (morticians) that will ever lay eyes on these products, the rest of us just see their effects, so maybe there hasn't been much need to update the design from their groovy 70's looks of some of the newest products. Still, in most cases some effort was made to sex them up a bit beyond basic lab chemical sterility. Who wouldn't want a bottle of Permaglo, or Plasdopake, which "dispels death pallor, imparts natural translucence to the skin, and dispels dull putty-grey color?" How about DriCav (for use in body cavities with "unusual" amounts of liquid or gas), which promises "a fresh wintergreen scent that aids in overcoming unpleasant odors of putrefication?" Or my favorite, the mysterious Jaundofiant — for restoring jaundiced corpses to a less yellow color. I can't think of many products that sound both so heroic and downright creepy at the same time. 
Here's links to websites for some of the companies that make this stuff for you. Lo-fi to say the least. But the copy is interesting and some of the graphics sure look mysterious. Consider me sold on cremation, btw.
