What to know about cremation in Independence

  • Before the cremation. Missouri's statewide rule does not require a medical examiner to approve every cremation. Before cremation, a completed death certificate with the cause of death must reach the local registrar. Source.
  • Embalming. No Missouri rule that requires embalming appears in the official sources cited here. A funeral home may not hold an unembalmed body longer than 24 hours unless it is refrigerated at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or colder, or sealed in an airtight metal case. Source.
  • Death certificates. Certified copies come from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Bureau of Vital Records, or from any of 115 local public health agencies. How to order.
  • Help paying. Missouri has no statewide cremation assistance program that we found. When a coroner is involved and no one is able or willing to handle burial, the coroner arranges burial or cremation and the county commission pays reasonable costs. Other options.
