How soon after death can a cremation take place in Australia?

It really depends. So there are a few factors that can affect cremation. So first of all paperwork. So we have to have all of the paperwork back from the hospital, doctor, you know whoever is verifying the death. So usually if death occurs at a hospital, a hospital doctor will write a document called a medical cause of death, which a funeral director will need in order to make funeral arrangements. Your funeral director will then send you some paperwork to fill out. And once they've received that back, they will process that paperwork and organise the cremation. So once all of the paperwork is organised and they can get a cremation booking for you or a funeral booking for you, then everything can go ahead. So that can be anywhere from two days onwards. It really just depends on how quickly we can get the process, you know, rolling with all of the paperwork.
