AB 1777 California Assembly · 2011-2012 Regular Session

Disposition of cremated remains.

Summary
Existing law specifies the manner of disposition of cremated human remains, including allowing the remains to be taken by boat or by air, and scattered at sea, in accordance with specified procedures. Existing law requires cremated remains to be removed from their container before the remains are scattered at sea. This bill, notwithstanding the requirement that cremated remains be removed from their container before scattering, would authorize the remains to be transferred from a durable container into a scattering urn, as defined, no more than 7 days before scattering the cremated remains at sea from a boat.
