Webinar: How to Get Rid of a Dead Body
- When: Mar 23, 2022
- Where: Webinar
On March 23, 2022, Trusts & Estates attorney Daniel Kim presented a webinar for the San Luis Obispo County Bar Association.
The webinar, titled How to Get Rid of a Dead Body, discussed challenges an individual may face when handling the remains of a late family member or friend. Because it can be overwhelming to navigate the rules and laws that govern remains at a time when the focus is on family and estate responsibilities, Daniel’s presentation covered:
- Who has control of a decedent’s remains
- What governs the control of remains, anatomical gifts
- Coroner’s inquests
- Autopsies and other procedures
- Deaths while abroad
- Death certificates
- Transportation and shipment of remains
- Interment and funeral arrangements
- Disposition of cremains
- Water cremation
- Criminal consequences for unlawful disposition of remains
- Disinterment and removal
