The Arizona legislature passed A.R.S. §32-1365.01 to provide guidance in disputes arising from cremation. It used to be that if a mortuary cremated an individual against the wishes of a loved one, the mortuary was left open to potential legal action for causing emotional distress. This of course caused mortuaries to hesitate before proceeding with a cremation. Now, individuals wishing to be cremated can remove any uncertainty from the situation by simply executing a cremation certificate, which expresses their desire to be cremated. By executing a certificate, individuals can be certain that their final wishes are respected.
