Examples of Mummification in a sentence

Ancient Egyptians used mummification as a way to preserve the bodies of their ancestors.  

The mummification process has been used to embalm and keep the bodies of both people and pets.  

Because mummification was so expensive, only wealthy Egyptians could afford to have their bodies embalmed and wrapped postmortem.  

Before Egyptians began their famous mummification process in 2400 B.C., they preserved their bodies using hot sand.
