      <![CDATA[One of your readers commented about the Undertaken With Love website, which has a page of resources about home funerals in North Carolina. I just wanted to let you know the URL for the website has now changed to http://www.undertakenwithlove.org To find the N.C. page, go to "State Home Funeral Laws" in the left side menu, then scroll down to the link to "North Carolina."

      <![CDATA[There is no law requiring embalming (except in some states and only covering specific circumstances such as transportation over state lines). Embalming is purely for viewing purposes.

      <![CDATA[In rural Yancey County we can bury bodies on private property more than 50 feet from a water source; top of body must be 18" or more below surface; shroud is acceptable. Unembalmed bodies may be held several days if cooled.

      <![CDATA[Perhaps there is an incorporated entity that has such an embalming law but I seriously doubt it. Check out homefuneralmanual.org/northcarolinaresources and you will be amazed at how liberal the laws are in North Carolina especially regarding burials on  <b>unincorporated</b>land.

      <![CDATA[I believe by law you have to be embalmed within 24 hours of death if you aren't buried by then. So it's hard to dodge the embalming thing.
