Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Funeral Directors and Embalmers Licensing Code. Provides that a licensee, or anyone else lawfully permitted to do so under the Code, shall either embalm or refrigerate a deceased human body if the funeral establishment has been in possession of the body for more than 48 hours and has not received any instruction from the person making the funeral arrangements regarding how the body is to be disposed of. Further provides that, at the time funeral arrangements are made, a licensee shall disclose on the written statement of services provided to the person making the funeral arrangements that it is required to embalm or refrigerate the body after 48 hours.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Funeral Directors and Embalmers Licensing Code. Provides that licensees may refrigerate or embalm a deceased human body that is removed from the place of death by an authorized licensee and transported to the funeral establishment where it is to be prepared for final disposition after 72 hours have passed since the body's arrival. Provides that a funeral establishment may only refrigerate or embalm if it does not receive instructions from the person making the funeral arrangements regarding how the body is to be disposed of within the 72-hour time period and no religious ritual or protocol is known to conflict. Provides that a licensee shall clearly disclose on a written statement of services furnished to a person making funeral arrangements that the licensee may refrigerate or embalm a deceased human body after 72 hours.
