Reply to comment by cleanforever in Pitt students facing abuse of corpse charges for alleged class incident by WookieeSteakIsChewie

There’s nothing in the statute that doesn’t apply to funereal requests, and there’s nothing in the statute that says if the (or some members of the) family request something, it’s not still a basis for liability.

Contrariwise, there is language in the comment to the statute that indicates that it’s reference to authorization by other law means to exempt those engaged in academic settings.

I agree that this law is very vague. "Ordinary family sensibilities" is practically meaningless.

And certainly different today than it was when the law was enacted. And different within families.
