Funeral and cremation law in Oklahoma
Who decides, what has to wait, and what a funeral home must tell you. Every fact links to its statute. Not legal advice.
- Naming a disposition agent
Oklahoma expressly recognizes a person's right to direct how their body will be disposed of after death and allows a person to assign that right by sworn affidavit. The statute also recognizes federal military disposition designations and makes knowingly failing to follow qualifying directions a misdemeanor. A written designation can be much more useful than leaving relatives to work out who should decide after death.
