You need to engage a funeral director to complete the death certificate and properly transport and store the remains. Most hospitals, nursing homes, and hospices require the removal of the body within a few hours after death.
Soil temperatures should be in the appropriate range for the variety of grass. Cool season grass requires a minimum range of 45 - 55 degrees. Warm season grass requires a minimum 55- 65 degrees. Note that soil temperatures are usually cooler than air temperature.
Because of this, you may have to plant both warm and cool weather grasses. If you opt for this consider planting cool weather grass seed in the early fall and then in the early spring overseed your lawn with warm weather grasses. Wait until temperatures get above 65Â°F during the day and then seed. 2  This will allow the warm weather grasses to get the benefit of warm temperatures that come with summer while giving them time to become established prior to cooler weather in the fall. 3  Plant in regards to the grass seed and not the area you live in.
