In the event the University of Arkansas School of Medical Sciences does not claim a corpse offered to it as provided by state
law, and if the identity of the corpse is unknown after following the procedures provided for under state law, or if the next
of kin of the corpse cannot be identified after reasonable efforts to identify them have been made, or in the event the next
of kin does not claim a corpse, the corpse shall be disposed of as provided hereafter.
(b)
Unclaimed corpses shall be disposed of by cremating the body, unless the coroner or the county judge has been made aware prior
to the time of ordering the cremation that the deceased specifically did not want to be cremated. Absent such knowledge coming
to the attention of the coroner and/or the county judge, the county judge may enter an order for cremation of the unclaimed
body at any time after the time limits provided herein. If the coroner and/or the county judge are aware that the deceased
did not want to be cremated, they shall arrange for direct burial, or such other interment of the body as is necessary and
appropriate.
