Embalming is required by Minnesota Statute 149A.9l, Subd. 3 in the following circumstances: If the body will be transported by public transportation If final disposition will not be accomplished within 72 hours after death or release of the body by a competent authority; If the body will be publically viewed; or, If so ordered by the commissioner of health for protection of the public health.
