Preserve human remains (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embalm

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

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
