All California Cremation

In California, a cremation is authorized by the direct next-of-kin as listed in the health and safety code 7100. All California Cremation will work with you to file the death certificate and permit for cremation. In California, the final disposition cannot occur without a certified permit. This process can take on average 7-10 business days.

The wait time varies by county, but on average is 2-3 weeks from when the death certificate has been filed. The permit is issued electronically, and once it is issued, the cremation can be scheduled.

If your loved one is a veteran, or the spouse of a veteran, he/she may be eligible to be buried at a national cemetery at no cost. However, the VA will cover the costs for the burial, but any and all mortuary and crematory costs must still be paid by the family.

You and your family may be entitled to survivors' benefits through Social Security. For more information and to see if this applies to you, visit the Social Security Information page or call or visit your local Social Security office.
