Tuesday Evening Publications Facilitates Better
Arterial Fluid Dilution with Launch of Free
Mobile App
SUNLAND,CA— Tuesday Evening Publications is
giving funeral service students and licensed embalm-
ers another option in calculating their embalming so-
lutions with the free mobile app suitably named the
Embalm Calc. With this tool, embalmers and students
will no longer have to rely on “back of the envelope”
calculations when determining what quantity of arte-
rial fluid to use in their solutions. With the Embalm
Calc- available for free on The App Store, Google Play
and Amazon store- users will be able to enter their
known values into the fluid calculation and instantly
have their answer.
Co-founders of Tuesday Evening Publications Damon
de la Cruz, PhD and Robert Homes, PhD believe in
the importance of balancing both the subjective and ob-
jective that comes from embalming case analysis.
“As embalmers we consider ourselves artists, and the
restoration of the deceased in our care is important
to us and the families we serve. However, we must re-
member that this art is firmly rooted in science and
the Embalm Calc will aid funeral service students and
professionals in its application” said Dr. de la Cruz.
As a centerpiece of the funeral service profession re-
gardless of disposition, embalming is a key component
to helping grieving families. Too often embalmers rely
on their “standard fluid mix” leading to under preser-
vation of loved ones in their care. This can lead to dis-
satisfied customers or potential law suits for neglect.
Embalm Calc is fun and easy way for an embalmer
to quantify their fluid requirements in order to en-
sure they are using the correct amount of fluid to
meet their preservation demands.
Likewise, when students are introduced to the fluid
calculation, some tend to struggle with understand-
ing all the components.
Educators can use the
Embalm Calc to supple-
ment their teaching and
students can practice its
application, creating the
good habit of using the
fluid calculation as part
of their analysis rather
than fearing having to do the math.
The release of the Embalm Calc has caught the at-
tention of educators for who use it both as a class-
room tool and when teaching students in real world
scenarios.
• “This is so cool!!! Thank you!!! –Karen Scott, Mor-
tuary Science Program Director, Malcom X College
• “Finally! Thank you so much for this handy tool! I
am working with students as a preceptor and this
will help immensely!” -Jediute
• “This has really helped my students understand
the components of the fluid calculation and how
they work together.” – Ben Schmidt, Embalming
Theory and Practicum Instructor, Worsham College
of Mortuary Science
