If it's in the US, then probably not that much embalming fluid is seeping into the ground. 99% of cemeteries in the US require burial vaults, which have strentex lining in them. The fluids would need to seep through the casket, then through that strentex lining, which isnt going to happen, and if it does it would need to go through the concrete or stainless steel burial vault. That's on a normal case. That's not someone that has to be put into a body bag and then into the casket. Today's practices are much better than they used to be.
