HB565

Hawaii HB565 mandates written contracts for cremation services, including disclosure of precious metals recovery and trust fund details.

Hawaii HB565 amends existing statutes to require written contracts for cremation services, ensuring they include specific disclosures. These include the names and addresses of the involved parties, an itemized statement of the property, and details on the purchase price and payment terms. The bill also mandates that any mortuary, cemetery, or pre-need funeral authority entering into a contract to provide cremation services must include a provision for written notice to the purchaser if precious metals are recovered during the cremation process.
