Cremation Request

The Crawford County Coroner's Office issues authorization to cremate electronically due to the efficiency of maintaining lasting digital records, statistics, ease of access, and short wait times compared to other means. Authorizations are only for deaths that occurred inside Crawford County, MO, and or the injury that occurred leading to death also occurred in Crawford County, MO. Remember that this does not waive any other Missouri legal requirements.

Complete our electronic form on this page and click submit. Pay careful attention to entering your email correctly; this is an automated process, and we will email confirmation exactly to the address entered. All submissions are delivered to the coroner's office email. This allows for fast processing to ensure there was a Coroner/M.E. or physician to certify the death and there is no known suspicion to halt cremation at this time for said person, per Missouri law.

Please allow 24 hours for the permit to be returned, excluding weekends or holidays.
