Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.
(410 ILCS 18/50)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2029)
Sec. 50.
Pacemakers and hazardous implants.
If an authorizing agent informs the funeral director and the cremation
authority on the cremation authorization form of the presence of a
pacemaker in the human remains, then the funeral director shall be
responsible for ensuring that all necessary steps have been taken to remove
the pacemaker before delivering the human remains to the crematory. Should
the funeral director who delivers the human remains to the crematory fail to
ensure that the pacemaker has been removed from the human remains prior to
delivery, and should the human remains be cremated with the pacemaker,
then the funeral director who delivered the human remains to the crematory
and anyone else covered by this Section shall be liable for all resulting
damages.
