• a coverall body being liquid impermeable and having a shape for receiving a deceased infant therein, the coverall body being flexible, the coverall body comprising:
• a torso portion including a torso chamber being positioned therein for containing a torso section of the deceased infant, the torso portion including a neck opening extending through a top side of the torso portion into the torso chamber, the torso portion having a neck collar being coextensive with the neck opening, the torso portion having a slit extending through the neck collar, the slit being positioned on a back side of the torso portion and extending downwardly from the neck collar, the torso portion having a pair of opposing edges positioned adjacent to the slit;
• a pair of arm portions each being integrally coupled to and extending laterally from the torso portion, each of the arm portions terminating with a closed hand covering;
• and
• a pair of leg portions each being integrally coupled to and extending downwardly from the torso portion, each of the leg portions terminating with a closed foot covering;
• a hood body being liquid impermeable and being flexible, the hood body being configured for partially covering a head section of the deceased infant to expose a face section thereof, the hood body being engaged to the coverall body such that liquid is deterred from permeating between the hood body and the coverall body, the hood body comprising:
• a head portion including a face opening extending through a front side of the head portion, a face rim being coextensive with the face opening;
• a shoulder portion being coupled to a bottom of the head portion, the shoulder portion extending outwardly and downwardly from the head portion, the shoulder portion extending through the neck opening and being positioned in abutment with an inner surface of the torso portion;
• and
• an adhesive strip being coupled to and extending along the face rim, the adhesive strip being configured to attach to the head section of the deceased infant;
• a drawstring extending through the neck collar for cinching the neck opening against the hood body to deter fluid flow between the hood body and the torso portion;
• a fastener for closing the slit of the torso portion being attached to the coverall on each of the pair of opposing edges of the coverall adjacent to the slit, the fastener comprising a zipper extending along both of the pair of opposing edges of the torso portion;
• and
• a sealing flap covering the fastener such that liquid cannot permeate through the fastener, the sealing flap being coupled to the inner surface of the torso portion adjacent to the fastener.

A method of dressing a deceased infant to prevent leakage of embalming fluid comprising the steps of:

• positioning the deceased infant into a coverall body such that a torso section of the deceased infant is positioned within a torso portion of the coverall body, each of a pair of arm sections of the deceased infant are positioned within one of a pair of arm portions of the coverall body, each of a pair of leg sections of the deceased infant are positioned within one of a pair of leg portions of the coverall body, and a neck section of the deceased infant extends through a neck opening of the torso portion, wherein each of the pair of arm portions is integrally coupled to and extend laterally from the torso portion, wherein each of the pair of leg portions is integrally coupled to and extends downwardly from the torso portion, wherein the neck opening extends through a top side of the torso portion;
• partially covering a head section of the deceased infant with a hood body such that a face section of the deceased infant is exposed through a face opening of the hood body, wherein the face opening extends through a front side of the hood body;
• urging the hood body to engage the coverall body such that liquid is deterred from permeating between the hood body and the coverall body;
• dressing the deceased infant in clothes such that the clothes are positioned over the coverall and the hood body.
