SCIENTIFIC
EMBALMING AND PROFESSIONAL CARE
|
INCLUDING
THE USE OF STATE OF THE ART PREPARATION FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT
AND SUPPLIES
Except in certain special cases, law does not require
embalming. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you
selected certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral
with viewing or when forwarding remains by common carrier.
If you do not want embalming, you usually have a right
to choose an arrangement, which does not require you
pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial.
We require embalming for any services selected that
include any public or private viewing by the family
or for mausoleum entombment.
The Texas Health and Safety Code mandates that a body
must either be embalmed or refrigerated after 24 hours
following death and the Code of Criminal Procedure stipulates
that a body may not be cremated within a time frame less
than 48 hours after the time of death as indicated on
the regular death certificates unless the remains have
been released by medical or law enforcement authorities.
