coroner
may deliver the body or human remains of the deceased |
to the family of the deceased or, if there are no family |
members to accept the body or the remains, then to friends of |
the deceased, if there be any, but
if not, the coroner shall |
cause the body or the remains to be decently buried, cremated, |
or donated for medical science purposes, the expenses to be |
