Authorizes cremation of unclaimed bodies by counties and storage of unclaimed bodies by hospitals.

Summary

The bill lets county or inter‑county medical examiners offer cremation as an option for unidentified or unclaimed bodies, and permits hospitals to store such bodies. If there is no estate to pay, the county foots the bill for burial or cremation after 30 days of no claim. It also sets rules for handling cremated remains and disinterment costs.
