HB 4521HouseHigh impact
In CommitteeMichigan Cremation Regulation Reform Act
This bill cuts Michigan's mandatory cremation waiting period in half — from 48 hours to 24 — and, for the first time, writes alkaline hydrolysis (water cremation) into state law with its own permit category. For most funeral homes it means faster turnaround on cremation cases and a clear legal path to add a service that is currently in a gray area.
