two weeks
Do bodies sit up when being cremated?
While the bodies do not sit up, these natural postmortem motions could be interpreted as such by those watching a funeral pyre from a distance. Similarly, one would certainly expect some movement after death via self immolation, as the muscles will be “fresh” and the temperature could fluctuate.
Do you have clothes on when you are cremated?
Kirkpatrick says clothing is optional. “If there’s been a traditional funeral, the bodies are cremated in the clothing. When there’s just a direct cremation without a service or viewing, they’re cremated in whatever they passed away in — pajamas or a hospital gown or a sheet.”
How long after death can you have an open casket?
approximately two to three days
Can you view an unembalmed body?
For remains that have been autopsied in order for a medical examiner or private doctor to determine the cause of death, or for remains that have undergone a long-bone or skin donation, the unembalmed body may simply be not suitable for viewing.
What do funeral homes do with the blood from dead bodies?
The blood and bodily fluids just drain down the table, into the sink, and down the drain. This goes into the sewer, like every other sink and toilet, and (usually) goes to a water treatment plant. You may be thinking that this is biohazardous waste and needs to be treated differently.
