Cemeteries: removal of remains.

Summary

The measure amends the Health and Safety Code so a superior court may only approve the removal of interred remains if the applicant shows good cause. It also updates documentation rules for disposing of human remains and creates a narrow exemption that lets a coroner release remains to a neighboring‑state funeral home without a death certificate or permit, provided specific criteria are met. These changes affect cemeteries, families seeking to move remains, and coroners handling out‑of‑state transfers.
