Bill Summary

Relative to the co-interment of both human and animal remains. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill allows for the co-interment (burial) of both human and animal remains, including cremated remains, in cemeteries and other burial places. It gives towns, cities, cemetery corporations, and other entities responsible for cemeteries the authority to establish their own policies on fees, interments, and other requirements related to this co-interment. This change to existing law provides more options for the burial of pets alongside their human owners.
