Who prepares the body before cremation?
Asked 2 years ago
My family and I are grieving over the death of my grandfather. He expressed that he wanted to be cremated when he died, so we are looking into getting that done. We just need to know- Who prepares the body before cremation? Is it the family or the cremation people?

I'm so sorry for your loss. The preparation is the responsibility of the crematorium. If you have chosen to do a public viewing, the body will be embalmed, bathed, dried, and dressed before being placed into the casket. If it is a direct cremation, there is no embalming, but the crematorium is still responsible for the body.
