2005 House Bill 4870 ↩

Senate Roll Call 583: Passed

To establish the order of priority in which family members are entitled to make funeral and burial arrangements for a deceased relative. It would be: the spouse; a child; a parent; a grandchild; a sibling; a grandparent; a child of a deceased sibling; an aunt or uncle; or a first cousin. If a funeral home makes a good faith and reasonably diligence attempt to comply with this, it would not be civilly liable for not being able to locate the right person.
