More and more (and more and more) families that are arranging for cremation have issues. Maybe there is a son who is 'estranged'; or perhaps it's a daughter who no one has seen in 20 years. Whatever the issue—you need to make sure you document what you have been told by the family. This form allows you to document the facts as the family represents them to your business. This form places a little more seriousness on the issue; making sure the family understands it is clear that you are relying on their story. Plus—this form gives you a little more protection—just in case the family isn't telling you everything!
