For legislation to permit the scattering of unclaimed cremated remains at sea. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill amends a section of the Massachusetts General Laws to allow funeral establishments to scatter unclaimed cremated remains at sea, in addition to the existing options of interring them in a cemetery or placing them in a common grave, niche, or crypt. The existing law previously only permitted the scattering of unclaimed remains in a designated area of a cemetery, and this bill expands the options to include scattering at sea.
