Amends South Carolina law to require a notice to certain parties before cremation and details for cremation authorization.
The Safe Cremation Act amends South Carolina law to require a crematory authority to notify specific parties before cremating human remains. The notice must be sent to the decedent's next of kin, personal representative, or other designated individuals. The cremation authorization form must include details such as the identity of the human remains, the name of the funeral director, notification of any infectious diseases, and a statement from the agent that they are aware of no superior priority rights to authorize the cremation.
