Are embalming and bodily drained to the sewer or tanked and buried.?

During the embalming process as the embalming fluid is be pumped into the body, and cavity filling embalming is being done. As the blood and other bodily fluids drain out running down the preparation table and discharged into a large sink, or something similar to a large toilet with no seat, where is the 'excess' embalming fluid, bodily fluids that drain off into during the embalming process, city sewer system, or into containers and buried in a safe place from the public. I would think this would a eco-system problem, and dangerous for the soil. Already embalmed, casket, vaulted, in ground burials of cadavers burials notwithstanding.

1. It all runs into the sewer system and is treated at the water treatment plant like all other waste. No state laws anywhere in the USA require any other form of disposal for the fluids, it all goes down the drain. It has been proven safe in a number of tests. It would be an enormous expense to have it contained and taken away, and would be unneccessary.
2. Reagan is right, it actually can be helpful to the sewer system in that it help microorganisms to flourish, which is helpful to the sewer system.
