In all states, including Texas, it is legal to have your loved one’s body at home after they die. Texas does not require you to involve a licensed funeral director in making or carrying out final arrangements.
However, Texas regulations require anyone who assumes custody of a body to file a “Report of Death” form with the local registrar of vital statistics within 24 hours of taking custody of the body.
