Funeral service practitioners.
This bill updates Wyoming law regarding burial and cremation decisions for deceased individuals. It clarifies that funeral service practitioners must follow written instructions from the decedent or a designated person, and if no instructions exist, they must obtain written consent from family members in a specific priority order (spouse, children, parents, etc.). If no consent is received within seven days, the county coroner may authorize disposition. The law also grants immunity to practitioners acting in good faith under these rules.
