Montana HJ27 calls for an interim study on laws regarding morticians and funeral services.

Montana HJ27 directs the Legislative Council to designate an interim committee to study current laws and rules on the final disposition of deceased bodies. The study will examine statutes across seven titles, focusing on public cemetery services, burial sites, and cemetery associations. It will also explore new final disposition methods like natural organic reduction and alkaline hydrolysis. The committee will collaborate with mortuary science professionals, crematory process experts, tribal representatives, and public health experts.
