If the person dies at a hospital I think it goes much faster (but surely it will vary by locality). I had my wife's DC in 5 days from Wake County. In NC it's common for the funeral home to take care of the DC requests.

Her death was referred to the ME, but the ME declined to review it (according to what the DC says).
