implant, including any toxic or explosive-type sealed implants, in place. If the
authorizing agent is the decedent, the declarant shall disclose the existence of any
pacemaker or other hazardous implants to the crematory authority, or in the event
there is no declaration, then the next class of authorizing agent in the order set forth

pacemaker or other hazardous implants to the crematory authority.
