New Jersey Statutes Title 45. Professions and Occupations 45 § 27-30

a. A cemetery company may adopt reasonable regulations on interment. In the absence of regulation, the cemetery company shall allow human remains of the following persons to be interred in an available interment space:

b. The right of a person to be interred in an interment space may be waived in writing. The right terminates if the person is interred elsewhere.

c. If more persons have a right to be interred in an interment space than may be interred there, any person with a right to interment in the interment space may be interred in it even though that will make the interment space unavailable to others.

d. A person who signs an authorization for the disposition of human remains warrants the truth of the facts stated, the identity of the human remains and the authority to order the disposition. The person shall be liable for damages caused by a false statement or breach of warranty. A cemetery or funeral director shall not be liable for disposition in accordance with the authorization unless it had reasonable notice that the representations were untrue or that the person lacked the right to control the disposition. An action against a cemetery company relating to the disposition of human remains left in its temporary custody shall not be brought more than one year from the date of delivery of the remains to the cemetery company unless otherwise provided by a written contract.
