Embalming —–We Do Not Offer Embalming Now
Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as a direct cremation or immediate burial. Instances where embalming is required are such as where the remains are to be transferred out of the state or out of the country. Embalming is a chemical process which provides temporary preservation of the body and helps eliminate health hazards. We may use the service and location of a Trade Embalmer if needed.
