Caring for the dead in Iowa

E-mail Print PDF
Have just come from the Medical Examiner's office. She had NO information on regs for home care for the dead and/or the paperwork required to transport a body. Can anyone help ? I have the Lisa Carlson's book "Caring for the Dead".....but wonder if the regs have changed. My husband and I have planned home body care/wakes/funerals.....now I'm in a bit of a panic as to whether it's legal . Have been advised that the State Medical Examiner 'sets the rules' and is not 'user friendly' so would like some info before I approach her office. Thanks...
