I don't think there are any bones left by then. I am not sure they embalm as would be hurtful to the ecology. I know they are wrapped in white and yes they are turned. They are not always turned in the smaller villages, but every place I went that was the case. I wrote an article on burial practices around the world last fall and got in trouble for not sticking to genealogy, but I felt that it would help you do your research as was quite a shock to be so excited to get to Germany expecting 200 years of tombstones and finding no old ones.
