State Laws & Requirements

Delaware Funeral Laws & Requirements

Delaware has specific regulations governing funerals, burials, and cremations. Understanding these before making decisions can save time and prevent complications.

Embalming is not universally required by law. However, certain conditions like public viewing or interstate transport might require it.

Many states require a licensed funeral director to oversee final dispositions and file the death certificate.

Home funerals are permitted, but you must still comply with local health regulations and paperwork requirements.

Burial-transit permits are required for all dispositions. Local zoning usually restricts burial to established cemeteries, though private land isn't explicitly banned.
