§ 8652 Burial Rights After Death

• •If a person dies and has no living parents or kids, their spouse gets to decide where they are buried.
• •If there's no spouse, the next closest family members (like siblings or cousins) get to decide, in order of who is oldest.
• •The oldest family member gets the first say in where the person is buried.

An old man dies and has no living parents or kids. He was married, but his wife died before him.

Since he has no living parents or kids, his oldest sibling gets to decide where he is buried. If he has no siblings, then the next oldest family member, like a cousin, gets to decide.
