Law
Unclaimed human remains
FUNERAL DIRECTORS AND MORTICIANS – Amends existing law to provide for the respectful disposition of certain unclaimed human remains.

RS31046 / H0502

Currently Idaho Statute is unclear about what mortuary or crematoriums are allowed to do with unclaimed ashes. The purpose of this bill will allow for a respectful disposition of unclaimed ashes.

This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government, therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
