How long does it take for an embalmed body to turn is to skeleton?

The process of an embalmed body turning into a skeleton can vary significantly based on several factors, including the embalming techniques used, environmental conditions, and whether the body is buried or cremated. Generally, it can take anywhere from several months to a few years for an embalmed body to decompose to the point of becoming a skeleton. In favorable conditions, complete skeletonization may occur within 5 to 10 years. However, embalming slows down decomposition, prolonging the time it takes for the body to fully skeletonize.
