Time period extension that organic reduction facilities may hold dead human bodies before initiating natural organic reduction

Summary

The bill changes Minnesota law so that a facility that accepts a dead body for natural organic reduction has up to 30 days to start the reduction process, instead of the current 24‑hour rule. It also limits how long bodies can be refrigerated (six days) or stored on dry ice (four days) and adds requirements for refrigeration after four days and embalming if reduction isn’t started within 30 days. The changes affect funeral providers, natural organic reduction operators, and families of the deceased.
