34-26A-29. Right of crematory authority to cremate on receipt of authorization form--Immunity from liability--Exception. A crematory authority may cremate human remains upon the receipt of a cremation authorization form signed by an authorizing agent. No crematory authority that cremates human remains pursuant to an authorization or that releases or disposes of the cremated remains pursuant to an authorization, unless the crematory authority has actual knowledge that the representations contained in the cremation authorization form were untrue, is liable for such cremation.
