Frequently asked questions

How long will it be before I receive certificates of death and the cremated remains?

We cannot guarantee a specific date the death certificate and direct cremation will be complete but make every effort to quickly complete this process. Certain procedural requirements could take as long as a week. Florida law states there is a 48 hour waiting period before cremation can take place. Once the paperwork has been completed Community Cremation initiates the certificate of death with the doctor. The doctor will complete their portion of the certificate of death. We then forward the certificate of death to the medical examiner for final review and approval of direct cremation. It is only when we receive final medical examiner approval that we can schedule the cremation and order certificates of death.
