I couldn't find the FL Statute covering cremation on the State's web site, but, I did find this at http://volusia.org/medicalexaminer/cremation.htm

Read 12.c again. Her husband wants her cremated.
When the body is to be cremated. Last one on the list.
Are you kidding? Every selfish kid in this country who's parents aren't dying fast enough are going to make a beeline for that place.
No, it could provide really important research information on brain damage. It would be invaluable for mankind.
Yep, we all know that women are chattle and the property of their husbands. They get to do anything they want with their wives and nobody gets to say anything about it.
