Minnesota does not require families to use a funeral director, and some crematories will accept a body directly from the family. There is no minimum waiting period, but the county medical examiner or coroner must approve every cremation, and a death certificate costs $13. Counties may help with funeral costs for families who cannot pay, but you usually need to apply quickly. Our Minnesota Funeral Guide walks you through each step.
