Why do you have to wait 3 days to cremate a body? In the United States, the law requires that a body must be held for three days before it can be cremated. This waiting period gives family and friends time to plan a funeral or memorial service.
Medical Examiners Authorization In Texas, any person wishing to cremate a body must first obtain authorization from the county medical examiners office. This is done by providing the office with a death certificate and a completed cremation authorization form.
The cremation process for humans takes between 1.5 and 2 hours. The body is placed in a retort, which is then heated to between 1400 and 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature, the body burns, and the bones turn to ash. After the body has been cremated, the ashes are placed in an urn and returned to the family.
Once the doctor has completed his/her portion of the death certificate, we are able to obtain our cremation permit. (1-5 additional days, depending on how long the doctor takes to sign) Once we have the cremation permit, we submit the permit to the crematory, and the cremation is scheduled. (1-2 additional days)
In Texas, the law requires 48 hours to pass before cremation (unless waived by a legal authority). The 48 hour wait time is based on the time of death provided for the death certificate.
