Preserve after death (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embalm

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

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