Ask the Bishops
What's Your Question?
Q: Can a function less formal than a funeral or memorial service be arranged ?
Q: Is a funeral or memorial service always held in a funeral home or place of worship ?
Q: May I make the necessary arrangements in advance ?
Q: Do clergy always officiate at a funeral service ?
Q: Is it appropriate to have viewing and not a service ?
Q: What purpose does a funeral serve ?
Q: What do funeral directors do?
Q: How soon after a death must an individual be buried?
A: There is no state law governing this period of time. When a body is embalmed, a swift burial is not an issue. At Bishop Funeral Service, we have refrigeration so that, if it becomes necessary to wait an extended period of time before burial, even if the body is not embalmed, in most cases, it is not a problem.
