There is no set time frame within which burials, cremations or repatriations must occur and, barring unforeseen complications, these can usually take place as little as two to three days after death.
If however you need to leave the deceased with the funeral home for more than a month, which can often be the case while families arrange to fly in and gather for the funeral, then it is worth checking with both funeral homes as to how much they charge for storage. Both funeral homes do not charge for the first month of storage but daily fees will kick in after that. For more information on Cayman’s two funeral homes, please see the listings below.
