California AB2331 allows removal of remains from cemeteries if consent is not obtained, requiring court permission instead.

California AB2331 amends Section 7526 of the Health and Safety Code to allow the removal of human remains from cemeteries when consent from the deceased's next of kin is not available. Instead, permission must be obtained from the superior court of the county where the cemetery is located. The court shall grant the application if it finds good cause for the removal.
