The bill provides that the institution or individual that received the decedent's body is not obligated to return the cremated remains, if the name, current address and telephone number of the decedent's next of kin or relatives are not provided in the written request. The institution or individual receiving the body must bear the costs of transporting and delivering the cremated remains.
