If you've been using the same embalming chemicals for years, you're not alone. Most funeral homes stick with what they know. But the science of embalming has advanced significantly, and the products available today are safer, more effective, and more versatile than anything that existed a decade ago.

At Hilton Funeral Supply, we decided to become an authorized distributor for The Champion Company, because we saw something our customers deserve access to — the most complete, scientifically backed embalming product system available in the profession today.

Here's what sets Champion apart, and why we believe it changes what funeral directors and embalmers can offer the families they serve.

The Four-Generation Framework — No Other Company Has It

Most embalming chemical companies offer one thing: traditional formaldehyde-based fluids. Champion is the only manufacturer providing four complete generations of embalming chemistry, each engineered for a specific set of performance goals and a specific type of funeral home practice.

First Generation: Traditional formaldehyde-based arterial and cavity fluids that are time-tested, consistent, and reliable.

Second Generation: Reduced-exposure fluids that cut formaldehyde exposure by up to 65% arterially and up to 80% during cavity treatment with the same preservation, less chemical burden.

Third Generation: Formaldehyde-free Millenium New Era line with zero formaldehyde, engineered for maximum tissue penetration and performance using multi-aldehydes and polyhydroxylated aromatics.

Fourth Generation: ENIGMA Ecobalming — the profession’s only full, Green Burial Council–approved product line, made from essential oils.

Champion was the first embalming chemical company approved by the Green Burial Council and remains the only manufacturer offering a complete arterial, cavity, topical, and compound system designed specifically for green and natural burial preparation.

American Manufacturing You Can Rely On

Champion manufactures their embalming fluids and accessory products at their facility in Springfield, Ohio. There are no co-packers and no overseas production for their fluids. For embalmers and funeral home owners who care about consistency, accountability, and the integrity of what goes into their prep room, this matters.

When you order through Hilton Funeral Supply, you're getting the same quality-controlled, American-made product that Champion ships from their Ohio facility — with the support of a distributor who knows the line inside and out.

Backed by Decades of Published Research

Champion has published research through their Encyclopedia of Mortuary Practices for decades. The Champion encyclopedia contains peer-reviewed chemistry covering formaldehyde exposure, glutaraldehyde safety, edema embalming, jaundice embalming, dehydration solutions, and more.

That scientific foundation is embedded into every product they formulate. When you use Champion, you're using fluids designed by people who understand what performs in real prep room conditions.
