noun

Etymology: From mummify + -ication, after French momification.

  1. The preserving of a dead body, by making it into a mummy.

    Mummification is not reserved exclusively for humans. Cats, dogs, and even crocodiles often get the same treatment—complete with animal-shaped coffins and painted faces.

  2. The practice of wrapping a person's arms, torso, and legs in order to restrict their movement.
