Description
Public Guardianship Program; authority to make funeral arrangements. Authorizes a public guardian or conservator to make funeral, cremation, or burial arrangements if the public guardian or conservator is not aware of any person that has been otherwise designated to make the arrangements as set forth in 54.1-2825. A public guardian or conservator may make funeral or burial arrangements if the public guardian or conservator has made a good faith effort to locate the next of kin to determine if the next of kin wishes to make the burial, cremation or funeral arrangements and the next of kin of the incapacitated person does not wish to make the arrangements. Good faith effort includes contacting the next of kin identified in the petition for appointment of a guardian or conservator. When in compliance with the law, funeral service licensees, funeral service establishments, registered crematoria, and public guardians and conservators are provided immunity from civil liability for any act, decision, or omission resulting from acceptance of any dead body for disposition, unless such acts, decisions, or omissions resulted from bad faith or malicious intent.
