🕵️‍♀️ Why Is My Death Certificate Taking So Long?! 🕵️‍♂️

We get it — waiting for a death certificate feels like waiting for a plot twist that never comes. But here’s the behind-the-scenes drama that can slow things down:

📝 1. Cause of Death Needs Clarifying
If the cause isn’t obvious, doctors or coroners may need to do further testing (a.k.a. science takes time).

🕰️ 2. Medical Examiner or Coroner Involvement
If an investigation is required, that’s a whole process. Think paperwork meets CSI.

📇 3. Missing or Incorrect Info
Name spelled wrong? Wrong date? These little mistakes can create big delays.

🏛️ 4. Backlogs at Vital Records Offices
Yep, sometimes it’s just a case of too many forms, too few staff, and a printer that jams every Monday.

📬 5. Different States, Different Rules
Every state has its own system. Some are fast. Some are… not.

FAQ: How long does it take for the cremation process to be completed?

Answer: Typical time from start to finish is generally 3 weeks.

However, there are several factors that could delay the process including:
- Decedent is under coroner investigation
- Vital Statistics are not completed in a timely manner
- The doctor does not sign off on the death certificate in a timely manner
- The Permit is rejected by the State Registar for incomplete or inaccurate information
- There are more than one next of kin who have not signed the cremation authorization form.

Aquamation Overview
Aquamation, also called alkaline hydrolysis, is a modern approach to handling human remains that is gaining popularity as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional flame cremation.

The process was invented in 1888 by Amos Herbery Hobson and in 2005, the Mayo Clinic acquired the first system for the purpose of reducing human remains in a dignified manner.

Instead of fire, Aquamation uses 95% water and 5% potassium solution to decompose the body. The gentle process reduces the human body to its most basic compounds and cremains are processed and are given to a family in an urn, just like traditional flame cremation.

This method has been known by various names over time, such as:

Aquamation
Resomation
Water cremation
Bio-cremation
Flameless cremation
Green cremation

You can pre-arrange your own cremation that will use this process. The planning steps are the same whether you chose water or flame based cremation. If you have questions you would like to discuss, please call 702-483-1127
