Except in certain specail cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements 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. Kansas State Board of Embalming regulation 63-3-11 (d) states: "A body dead from any cause may be interred or cremation without embalming if interment or cremation is within twenty-four hours of death. A reasonable period of time beyond twenty-four hours may be permitted if: (A) Religious beliefs, laws, or customs do not permit transportation, or interments on Sabbath or holy days; and (B) No health hazard or nuisance will result."
