34-26A-18. Simultaneous cremations forbidden absent written authorization--Authorization as exemption from liability for commingling. The unauthorized, simultaneous cremation of the human remains of more than one person within the same cremation chamber is forbidden, unless the crematory authority has received specific written authorization to do so from all authorizing agents for the human remains to be so cremated. A written authorization exempts the crematory authority from all liability for commingling of the product of the cremation process.
