California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 3 — Professions and Vocations GenerallyChapter 12 — Cemetery and Funeral ActArticle 6.5 — CrematoriesSection 7713.3
It is a misdemeanor for any person, firm, or corporation to cremate human remains or to engage in the disposition thereof without a valid, unexpired crematory license. Each cremation shall be a separate violation.
Notes
Prohibits any person, firm, or corporation from cremating human remains or engaging in their disposition without a valid, unexpired crematory license and makes the conduct a misdemeanor. Each separate cremation constitutes a separate violation, so multiple unlicensed cremations are treated as distinct misdemeanor offenses under the provision.
