Under what condition can cremated remains be disposed of in a way that they are commingled with another person's remains?

  1. With the permission of the cemetery

  2. With permission from the 7100 rights holder

  3. During a memorial service

  4. It is never allowed

The correct answer is: With permission from the 7100 rights holder

The appropriate condition for disposing of cremated remains in a way that commingles them with another person's remains is with permission from the 7100 rights holder. This designation refers to the individual who has the legal rights and authority over the disposition of the remains, as outlined in the California Health and Safety Code, specifically section 7100. Commingling of cremated remains involves legal and ethical considerations, such as the wishes of the deceased and the rights of the surviving family members. Therefore, obtaining permission from the rights holder ensures that the decision reflects the intentions of the deceased and complies with legal regulations, safeguarding the rights and sentiments of all involved parties. The other options may suggest circumstances that are relevant to memorial practices or permissions but do not specifically confer the legal authority required for such actions involving cremated remains.
