Purpose
Section 497.171, F.S., authorizes the Board to adopt rules specifying acceptable materials, locations, and methods to affix identification tags to caskets, alternative containers, cremation containers, outer burial containers, and cremation internment containers. The proposed rule amendment will add, as an acceptable material for an identification tag, the use of an electronic identification marker that uses a passive radio frequency signal to communicate between the marker and a hand held receiver to identify the deceased.
