Pittsylvania County Cremation Regulations

In Surry, Wilkes, and Yadkin Counties, North Carolina, cremation is governed by North Carolina state law rather than county-specific ordinances. Before cremation can occur, a death certificate must be completed and filed with the local registrar, a cremation authorization must be signed by the legally authorized next of kin, and a burial-transit or disposition permit must be issued. If the death falls under medical examiner jurisdiction, medical examiner approval is also required. North Carolina law includes a mandatory 24-hour waiting period after death before cremation, unless a waiver is granted by an authorized official.



Once all documentation and approvals are complete, cremation typically takes place within three to five days, depending on the speed of paperwork completion, weekends, holidays, or medical examiner involvement. Funeral homes and cremation providers in these counties manage the permitting process and ensure all state requirements are met before proceeding.
