Funeral and cremation law in Wyoming
Who decides, what has to wait, and what a funeral home must tell you. Every fact links to its statute. Not legal advice.
- Waiting period before cremation
Wyoming funeral board rules do not allow a body to be cremated or chemically disposed of in under 24 hours without written permission from the county coroner of the county where the death occurred. The same rule requires funeral practitioners to refrigerate, embalm, bury or cremate a body within 36 hours after receiving it.
