Is embalming required in the state of Georgia?
Embalming is not required by law in any state, to my knowledge. (It is sometimes requested for travel; i.e. if a death occurs away from home and the deceased has to be transported many miles, crossing state lines or by aircraft.) However, if a family wishes to have an open casket visitation/ viewing or a public viewing, embalming would be necessary. Embalming is not required and typically not performed in cases involving cremation. Additionally, a funeral home may require the remains be embalmed if there will be any great length of time before a burial/ entombment. Cemeteries will often require the remains be embalmed if the casket is to be entombed in one of the cemetery's mausoleums. Lastly, barring any highly contagious or infectious disease or remains that are considered a "special circumstance" by the government, embalming would not be necessary. Please realize though, that the vast majority of funeral homes will not suggest or recommend viewing the remains, or any type of public display, without first embalming the remains.
How long does a funeral home wait until they embalm a dead body?
There is no law that requires a funeral home to embalm a body. They need the next-of-kin to sign to agree that embalming is required. Generally a body can be stored for at least 72 hours without embalming and especially if dry ice or suitable refrigerated storage is used. In such cases a body can be stored much longer without embalming. There are different laws depending which state you are in as to how long a body can be stored without sanitization, how long after a death the body can be cremated (i.e. in texas a cremation cannot be performed until 48 hours after death), and whether the funeral home IS required to have refrigerated storage. All these things affect a family's decision about embalming. Funeral directors may recommend embalming, especially if a viewing, visitation or open casket service is required, but they should NOT suggest to you that it is legally required.
