Maine allows families to handle a death themselves and to obtain and file the permits. There is a 48-hour wait after death before a cremation can take place, and a medical examiner must issue a cremation certificate first. Natural organic reduction (human composting) is also legal in Maine. A death certificate costs $15 for the first copy and $6 for each extra copy.
