{July 21, 2006} Section 14 of The Cremation, Interment & Funeral Services Act continues to prohibit the sale in BC of an arrangement for the preservation or storage of human remains based on Cryonics and other processes with the expectation of resuscitation of human remains at a future time.
The section reads:
This section of the Act does not prohibit funeral directors in BC from performing preparation and transport services related to a cryonic arrangement assuming that these services are in compliance with provincial health regulations (www.qp.gov.bc.ca/statreg/reg/H/Health/4_83.htm#part4 ) and human remains transfer regulations (www.qp.gov.bc.ca/statreg/reg/C/298_2004.htm ). To be clear, should a consumer wish their remains to be preserved using cryonics, a BC funeral provider is not prohibited from performing any related services such as preparation and transport, as per the Cremation, Interment & Funeral Services Act regulations. |
