## When to use it

Use when acting for a family who have engaged a funeral director and need the coroner's order releasing the body for burial or cremation.

## Used for these tasks

- [Check the authority required before human remains are buried or cremated](https://ailawframework.com/practice/coronial-inquests.md#A61-OB20261022-11)
- [Map who is the senior next of kin and what each person may decide](https://ailawframework.com/practice/coronial-inquests.md#A61-OB20261022-4)

## How AI may be used

The tool may list the funeral director, the relationship and where the body is, and it writes nothing on the request that is sent.

**AI may:**

- List the funeral director engaged by the family and the place where the body is, from documents already on the file

**AI must not:**

- Must not complete the request, the tick boxes, or the signature
- Must not decide who has authority to bury or cremate
- Must not send the request to the coroner

**The lawyer checks:**

- Form 14A version 5, sent to the coroner investigating the death
- The person who engaged the funeral director and their relationship are identified
- The costs boxes match what the family has been told
- A cremation has the permission application the form names, which was not opened here
