How soon after death can cremation take place?
First, all of the necessary forms must be completed including the “Cremation Authorization”. During this document-processing period, the deceased will be sheltered in a climate-controlled environment. Today, many states require the coroner or medical examiner to authorize each cremation. In fact, some states have specific minimum time limits that must elapse before the cremation. We can assure you that all state and county rules and regulations will be followed accordingly.
