What to know about cremation in Van Buren
- Before the cremation. Arkansas does not require a coroner or medical examiner to approve every cremation. Their approval is needed when the death falls under their authority. Source.
- Embalming. Arkansas law says a body does not have to be embalmed. If burial is not within 48 hours, the body must be embalmed or refrigerated, but that rule does not apply when cremation happens within 48 hours. Source.
- Death certificates. Certified copies come from the Arkansas Department of Health, Vital Records. The first copy is $10 and each extra copy of the same record ordered at the same time is $8. How to order.
- Help paying. No statewide Arkansas program that pays for cremation appears in the official sources cited here. For unclaimed bodies, the person holding the body may ask the county court to take charge, and an estate must repay reasonable costs if there is one. Other options.
