Pennsylvania Statutes Title 35 P.S. Health and Safety § 1112. Telegram or telephonic authorization; authorization by one of several qualified persons

Authorization may be given by telegram, or by telephone if the telegram or telephonic authorization is certified by two persons present when it was received. Any telegram or telephonic authorization purporting to have been sent by a person authorized to give consent shall be conclusively presumed to have been sent by such person. If two or more persons entitled to authorize postmortem examination assume responsibility for burial, the written authorization of one is sufficient.
