For three weeks afterwards, Yogananda's body did not decay. Those working with its mortuation process called it "the most extraordinary case in our experience..this state of perfect preservation of a body is, so far as we know from mortuary annals, an unparalleled one...a phenomal state of immutability...no odor of decay emanated from his body at any time...for these reasons we state again that the case of Paramhansa Yogananda is unique in our experience." Yogananda's remains are interred at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Great Mausoleum (normally closed off to visitors but Yogananda's tomb is accessible) in Glendale, California.
