The science of how Pope Francis will be embalmed
81% Informative
Pope Francis ' body will likely be drained of blood and flooded with preservative chemicals.
Veins will be opened in the Pope's neck and a mixture of formaldehyde, alcohol, water, and formaldehyde will be pumped in.
This will push out congealed blood which would lead to decay in Rome .
Process will allow the Pope to lie in state for three days without showing signs of decomposition.
Pope John Paul II was not embalmed at all but merely 'prepared' for lying in state when he died in 2005 .
New rites issued last year said Francis would be laid to rest in a single zinc-lined wooden casket.
The pontiff also scrapped the tradition of placing the Pope's body on a raised platform - known as a catafalque - in St Peter's Basilica .
