Day-to-day operating brief

What Restoration Artist (Cosmetic prep) work looks like in practice

A Funeral Restoration Artist uses specialist cosmetic, wax, feature-building or concealment techniques to improve presentation after trauma, illness or post-mortem examination. Terms should define competence, case acceptance, family wishes, preparatory care, materials, colour work, photographs, PPE, ventilation, infection control and review. The employee should not guarantee that all trauma can be concealed or undertake surgical, embalming or clinical procedures outside their documented training and authority. A restorative plan should separate reversible surface work from structural intervention and identify the review point before further material is added. Colour assessment under neutral light and the intended viewing light can prevent an apparently successful workshop finish from looking unnatural in the chapel. Unused prepared compounds should not be transferred to another case.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Assess cases within restorative competence.
  • Plan and perform authorised preparation.
  • Use materials tools and PPE safely.
  • Review appearance against agreed wishes.
  • Record techniques products and limitations.

A realistic working scenario
