The act, process, or result of embalming a body; the state of being embalmed.
From embalm + -ment (abstract noun suffix creating nouns from verbs), following the pattern of words like enjoyment or amazement.
Medieval embalmment practices were radically different from modern techniques—they often involved removing internal organs and replacing them with perfumes and spices, partly due to religious beliefs about the afterlife.
