Would Abraham Lincoln's body hold a higher probability of staying recognizable today even with the moisture wicking properties of concrete in his new tomb in 1901?

by Chinhigh

His features were still recognizable as of 1901 due to numerous embalmings. Would the new concrete tomb produce an environment that would prolong this lack of decay? Or would the moisture drawn by the properties of concrete make his body dry out and dissipate into dust/breakdown much quicker...
