3 - Is embalming required if I wish to have visitation before cremation?

No. If cremation may not take place within 24 hours of the death, then either mortuary refrigeration or embalming does need to occur. We are able to have visitation with mortuary refrigeration, but the State does limit the time to 6 hours. If the family would wish to have a longer period of time, embalming may be an option, but only with the family giving explicit permission for embalming to occur.
