Section 24.08.01.452 - MINIMUM STANDARDS01.Reasonable Sanitation and Safety Required. No license will be issued to operate a funeral establishment or crematory unless it is apparent that the establishment or crematory can and will be operated in a reasonably sanitary and safe manner and that all pertinent federal, state, and local permits have been obtained when operating an alkaline hydrolysis retort. (3-28-23)02.Delay Before Cremation. No dead human body, regardless of cause of death, is to be cremated, nor is actual cremation of such a body to be commenced, unless the county coroner in the county in which the death occurred gives written authorization to cremate the body. (3-28-23)03.Embalming. If a dead human body is to be held longer than twenty-four (24) hours prior to burial, cremation, or other disposition, the body must be either embalmed or refrigerated at thirty-six degrees Fahrenheit (36F) or less until buried, cremated, or otherwise disposed of. (3-28-23)04.Casket Not Necessary. It is not necessary for the body to be in a casket for cremation to take place. (3-28-23)a. This is not to be construed to mean that the crematory must cremate without a casket; and (3-28-23)b. It will not prevent the operators from developing their own internal requirements for aesthetic or sanitary reasons. (3-28-23)Idaho Admin. Code r. 24.08.01.452
