Summary

The bill lets adults 18 or older set funeral wishes through a pre‑need contract or a notarized affidavit and creates a specific order of relatives and others who can control disposition if no directive exists. It also defines situations that can strip that right and gives probate courts authority to step in when parties disagree. The measure failed to pass.
