Direct cremation in Los Angeles is governed by Los Angeles County and California state laws. Visit our: Los Angeles County Hub Page
- Los Angeles County Medical Examiner: We coordinate all necessary authorizations through the Medical Examiner’s office located at 1104 N Mission Rd.
- Cremation Permit Fees: Los Angeles County requires a mandatory Disposition Permit fee (currently $12.00).
- California Waiting Period: While California does not have a fixed hour-based “waiting period” like Texas, the cremation cannot proceed until the Death Certificate is signed by a physician and the permit is issued by the county.
- No Casket Required: California law does not require a casket for cremation; a simple alternative container is used to hold the body during the process.
