Vermont allows immediate family members to care for and arrange the disposition of their own dead. There is a 24-hour wait after death before a cremation, and a medical examiner’s certificate is required first. Natural organic reduction (human composting) and alkaline hydrolysis are both legal in Vermont. A certified death certificate costs $10. Our Vermont funeral and cremation guide explains each step.
