EMBALMING ABSENT INSTRUCTION

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.
