Mississippi Code 1972 (2023) › Title 73 - PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS (§§ 73-1-1 — 73-79-1) › Chapter 11 - PRACTICE OF FUNERAL SERVICE AND FUNERAL DIRECTING (§§ 73-11-1 — 73-11-73) › STATE BOARD OF FUNERAL SERVICE (§§ 73-11-33 — 73-11-73) › Section 73-11-71 - [Repealed Effective 7/1/2025] Intermingling of cremated remains prohibited; written acknowledgment from person entitled to control disposition of remains; content of acknowledgment

(1)
Upon the completion of each cremation, and insofar as is practicable, all of the recoverable residue of the cremation process shall be removed from the crematory and placed in a separate container so that the residue may not be commingled with the cremated remains of other persons. Cremated remains of a dead human shall not be divided or separated without the prior written consent from the person entitled to control the disposition of the cremated remains.
(2)
Written acknowledgement from the person entitled to control the disposition of the cremated remains shall be obtained by the person with whom arrangements are made for disposition of the remains on a form that includes, but is not limited to, the following information:
"The human body burns with the casket, container or other material in the cremation chamber. Some bone fragments are not combustible at the incineration temperature and, as a result, remain in the cremation chamber. During the cremation, the contents of the chamber may be moved to facilitate incineration. The chamber is composed of ceramic or other material which disintegrates slightly during each cremation and the produce of that disintegration is commingled with the cremated remains. Nearly all of the contents of the cremation chamber, consisting of the cremated remains, disintegrated chamber material, and small amounts of residue from previous cremations, are removed together and crushed, pulverized or ground to facilitate inurnment or scattering. Some residue remains in the cracks and uneven places of the chamber. Periodically, the accumulation of this residue is removed and interred or scattered in a dedicated cemetery property or appropriate area."
The acknowledgment shall be filed and retained for at least three (3) years by the person who disposes of or inters the remains.
