1) Given the conditions that the deceased has been exposed to, describe the importance of examining the remains for yourself.

2) Would the restoration of the fractures of the cranium be classified as a minor procedure or a major procedure?  Why?

4) What role, if any, does proper embalming play in the success or failure of the attempted restorative art methods?
