In one case, cremation and dividing the ashes worked. Years ago, a decedent stayed in cold storage for more than a month while all the six siblings were located and went to mediation about whether to cremate or bury. Mortuary got rich on that one...I felt we could make an argument PR ruled, but mortuary wouldn't accept that because of the statute.</p>
