    • French
    Afin de préserver l’intégrité du corps après son décès, le thanatopracteur doit s’appuyer sur l’anatomie, l’histologie, la microbiologie, la médecine légale et la toxicologie, tout en maîtrisant les techniques d’interventions physiques, physiologiques et esthétiques sur le sujet. La thanatopraxie a également une forte dimension éthique : la profession est encadrée par les réglementations funéraires sur le plan légal et nécessairement guidée par les sciences humaines sur le plan moral. Cet ouvrage aborde tous ces aspects de la thanatopraxie avec didactisme et pédagogie grâce à ses huit parties : Anatomie Histologie – anatomie pathologique Microbiologie Médecine légale Toxicologie Réglementation funéraire Sciences humaines de la mort Théorie des soins de thanatopraxie Michel Durigon et Michel Guénanten s’étaient associés pour réaliser la première édition de cet ouvrage qui est depuis devenu la référence incontournable pour les étudiants qui préparent le diplôme national, pour les thanatopracteurs en exercice désireux de mettre à jour leurs connaissances, ainsi que pour les agents de chambres mortuaires et de pompes funèbres. Nicolas Delestre apporte ses connaissances à cette nouvelle édition complète et précise, abondamment illustrée de 200 dessins anatomiques et photographies ainsi que de nombreux tableaux de synthèse.
