Preserve (a body) (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embalm

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">preserve a body</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for embalm that I've seen before include "Treat corpse so as to retard decay" , "Preserve body, mummify" , "Prepare for burial" , "Use chemicals to preserve a dead body from decay" , "Prepare corpse for preservation (6)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the Evening Standard.
