Frequently asked questions
Is embalming required?
Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary 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 direct cremation or immediate burial. If you do not want embalming, refrigeration is provided immediately in lieu thereof, and is required after the fifth day.
Can I view an un-embalmed body?
You may have a funeral service with an un-embalmed body present; however, public viewing of an un-embalmed body is not allowed. Only the immediate family will be allowed to view an un-embalmed body for identification purposes, if viewing is possible.
How can I personalize the funeral service?
Funerals are most meaningful when they are personalized. Display personal items or hobby-related items, select meaningful flowers, create a theme reflecting the deceased's interests (veteran, crafts, religious, ranching, fishing, sports), use personalized merchandise (casket cap panels, memorial folders, urns, flag cases), allow children to write letters or draw pictures for the casket, arrange a bagpiper or balloon release.
