SB 1251 - This act provides that licensed funeral directors and funeral establishments shall not be liable for their actions regarding the funeral arrangements for a deceased person in their care in reliance on a person claiming to be next of kin, provided the licensee makes a good faith, reasonable effort to discover the validity of the claim.

For purposes of this act only, a person can designate any person to be their next of kin by a signed, dated and verified written instrument, including a will or trust.
