It's hard to say. The law states that once a funeral home agrees to accept a case it must not back away from it and it must not delay the case because of nonpayment. However, many bodies are abandoned and the funeral home must take legal action to take possession of the remains in order to dispose of it. This could take as long as one year. Meanwhile it is stored in a cooler.
