Sec. 12.65.100. Unclaimed bodies.
When a person dies and no person appears to claim the body for burial, and no provision is made for the body under AS 13.52 , the Department of Health, upon notification, shall request a court order authorizing the body to be plainly and decently buried or cremated and the remains decently interred. A judicial officer shall issue the requested order upon the sworn testimony or statement of a representative of the Department of Health that a person has not appeared to claim the body for burial and provision is not made for the body under AS 13.52 .
