EMBALMING
(Including
use of preparation room and sanitary care)
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 direct cremation or immediate burial. If you choose to have
embalming performed, the decedent may be embalmed at a location other
than this registered mortuary.
No
human remains may remain unburied or uncremated in New Jersey for more
than 48 hours unless embalmed or refrigerated. (N.J.A.C. 8:9-1.1)
