Following the cremation, the Authorizing Agent directs KRAMER FUNERAL HOME to undertake the actions set forth on the reverse for final disposition of the cremated remains of the deceased.  If the cremated remains are to be shipped, the funeral home will only do this via USPS Certified Overnight Mail with return receipt, as a method of tracking the status and location of the cremated remains. If the Authorizing Agent fails to retrieve the cremated remains from the funeral home within (90) days of this authorization, the funeral home is instructed to dispose of such cremated remains in accordance with WAC 38-47-070, including but not limited to (a) releasing the urn for burial at a state or national veteran’s cemetery (if eligible); (b) interring such urn in a common plot designated for unclaimed urns at the Colfax Cemetery (Colfax, Washington); or (c) scattering the ashes at a place designated by the funeral home.  Only one notification to claim the urn will be made to the Authorizing Agent before the funeral home will take action on final disposition.
