Effective January 1, 2020 the law prohibiting the cremation of dead human bodies with radioactive implants will change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crematorium operators may permit the cremation of a dead human body with radioactive implants if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. it is at least two years after the day the body received the implant; or<\/li>
  2. a lesser time has passed since the body received the implant, and it is safe to cremate the body.*<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The BAO, OFSA and the OACFP will be meeting to formulate guidelines to assist operators in determining section (b) above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Contracts for cremation services must be modified to include the following wording:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. a statement that a dead human body shall not be cremated if,
      1. the body has a pacemaker,<\/li>
      2. the body has a radioactive implant, except that a body that has a radioactive implant can be cremated if,
        1. it is at least two years after the day the body received the implant, or<\/li>
        2. a lesser time has passed since the body received the implant, and it is safe to cremate the body, or<\/li><\/ol><\/li>
        3. the body is in a casket that consists of or has on or in it material made of or containing non-flammable or hazardous material or chlorinated or fibre-reinforced plastic, other than incidental metal used in the construction of the casket or accompanying material; and<\/li><\/ol><\/li>
        4. a statement that a dead human body shall not be cremated unless a certificate issued by the coroner authorizing the cremation has been received by the operator.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
