Can anyone tell me if there is a State law in your state that prohibits?

There is no law in any state that says embalming is mandatory. Embalming is optional, but may be required for certain services chosen by the family, such as a public viewing. But embalming is optional, immediate burial or cremation do not require embalming. Embalming would be required for a public viewing, though. As for Jews, funeral homes are very accustomed to handling this and do everything possible to bury within the time frame that corresponds with their wishes and beliefs.

There are no laws requiring embalming; if they were, they would be challenged consitutionally under "freedom of religion" for two reasons:

1) the time factor (important ot both Jews and Muslims)

2) Embamling is nto allowed in all relgions (forbidden in both Judaism and Isalm)

Thus it ends up being a personal choice, or a choice of the family, and is not done by Jews (though it does happen in some of the more liberal jewish groups such as Reform, Reconstructionist and Humanistic Judaism)

There are no laws regarding embalming.

Having said that, embalming is not part of the Jewish burial beliefs.

All the best.
