Any dead human body which has been delivered to the Committee may be claimed by any friend of the deceased, any representative of a fraternal society of which the deceased was a member, a veterans’ organization recognized by the Director of the Department of Veterans Services, or any representative of any charitable or religious organization. Upon receipt of such a claim, the body must be surrendered to the claimant by the Committee after the payment to the Committee of the expenses incurred in obtaining and handling the body. If a veterans’ organization claims the body of a deceased veteran pursuant to this section, the veterans’ organization must provide a military funeral.
