DISPOSITION OF REMAINS ACT

Summary
Creates the Disposition of Remains Act. Lists, in order of priority, those persons who have the right to control the disposition, including cremation, of the decedent's remains and who are liable for the costs of disposition, unless the decedent has left written directions for the disposition of his or her remains as provided in the listed Section of the Act or in the Crematory Regulation Act. Provides a form for the appointment of an agent to control the disposition of remains. Provides that a person may provide written directions for the disposition, including cremation, of the person's remains in a will, a prepaid funeral, burial, or cremation contract, or in a written instrument signed by the person and notarized. Amends the Crematory Regulation Act to repeal the Section concerning the priority list for authorizing agents for the cremation of remains.
