How long after you die are you cremated? In most cases, you will have to wait somewhere between 24 and 72 hours after death before a body can be cremated.
This waiting period gives family and friends time to plan a funeral or memorial service. It also allows for an autopsy to be performed if there is a suspicion of foul play or if the death was sudden and unexplained. In addition, the wait time provides an opportunity for the body to be inspected for contagious diseases.
The one who can sign it would be a spouse, the husband or wife. The other folks that would need to sign if there is no spouse available to sign would be the children, the next of kin. It goes down in the lineage as far as who would be the next person of authority to be able to authorize the cremation.
If the family or deceased chose direct cremation, there is no other preparation required. If the family chose a public viewing, the body will be embalmed, bathed, dried, dressed, and put in a casket.
Its possible to delay a funeral service indefinitely but a cremation or burial shouldnt be delayed for more than six weeks after someone dies. A direct cremation or burial excludes a ceremony, which saves money on traditional funeral elements and allows you to hold a memorial service at a later date.

One of the main reasons for the waiting period before cremation is to ensure that all legal requirements are thoroughly addressed. The cremation process involves several key legal documents and procedures that must be completed before the actual cremation can occur.
Cremation takes time because in order to preserve the remains while simultaneously hitting the incineration point for the bones requires slow temperature increases. Commercially available flammable chemicals arent able to reach the consistent temperature threshold required to fully cremate a human.
It is legal documentation approving the act of cremation that must be signed by a legally authorized individual. The cremation authorization form serves a dual purpose: It allows families to detail exactly what they want and who is responsible when it comes to their loved ones cremation.
