If a person represents that the person knows the identity of a decedent, and, with the intent to procure the disposition of the decedent’s remains, signs a statement, other than a death certificate, that identifies the decedent, the person guarantees the identity of the decedent and is liable for any damages that result, directly or indirectly, from that guarantee.
