Best advice is to reach out to a local mortuary/funeral home or crematory and go about disposal that way (i.e. burial, cremation and burial etc.). The mortuary will know of all the local/state applicable laws and regulations and will ensure those are followed.
Hi all,
Has anyone had to dispose of human remains from their teaching labs? I'm curious as to how you went about it and the regulatory requirements in your state. We have a skeleton that's at least 40 years old and no information on its origins (we're in Colorado). We want to be respectful and compliant as it is human remains. Any insights will be appreciated.
Regards,
Sane
