Extends the time period natural organic reduction facilities may hold dead human bodies before initiating reduction.

The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to extend the time natural organic reduction facilities may hold dead human bodies before initiating the reduction process. Bodies must be reduced within 30 days after the facility accepts custody, but embalming is not required if reduction starts within this period. Bodies must be embalmed or refrigerated if not reduced within 72 hours of death.
