Title:	AMEND FUNERAL LAWS
Summary:	An Act Amending the Laws Pertaining to the Practice of Funeral Service.
Progress:	1st Chamber: Referred to Committee
Status:	03/30/2017 ñ House Committee on Regulatory Reform
History:	03/29/2017—H Filed in the House.
	03/30/2017—H Passed 1st Reading.
	03/30/2017—H Ref To Com On Regulatory Reform , if favorable, Finance.
Comments:	The bills may very well encourage and increase situations where the family refuses to pay for the funeral costs and the costs (through this process) end up becoming the expense of the county. It also insures the funeral home director is going to be paid one way or the other while leaving the county with the bill. Counties are concerned that the bill as currently written would lead to a significantly higher number of funeral/burial expenses for the county.
	
	Over the last several years the universities in the state have been purchasing bodies; therefore, we would strongly encourage the hospitals and the funeral homes to make immediate contact with the Commission on Anatomy. Additionally, we would encourage the sponsors to consider adding language that sets the amount a county can be charged for disposition of the abandoned dead body. Many counties have contracts for cremation not to exceed $350.00 for truly abandoned dead bodies. If a funeral home moves forward with disposition of the dead body and the family walks away from the arrangements due to cost, the county should not be held liable for the cost because the funeral home knows the family and should pursue reimbursement from the family. The financial loss to the funeral home should be considered a write off for doing business just like any other business loss. The bill has the potential to sets precedent, because if the funeral home directors can be guaranteed payment then why not hospitals for health care expenses of county residents when no other payers can be found?†
	
	While the General Statutes has provisions for the county to file a claim against the estate, typically the abandoned dead body does not have an estate.
