Mississippi does not require families to use a funeral director, and families can handle the arrangements themselves. There is no minimum waiting period, but the death certificate must be filed before cremation, and a death certificate costs $17. The state has no funeral assistance program, but some counties help with basic cremation costs. Our Mississippi Funeral Guide walks you through each step.
