Cremation Laws in Wisconsin
Embalming is not required by law. “Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial.”
The purchase of a casket is not required. “If you want to arrange a direct cremation, you can use an alternative container. Alternative containers encase the body and can be made of materials like fiberboard or composition materials (with or without an outside covering).” The containers we provide are an alternative container.
Cremation cannot take place until at least 48 hours after death.
