I think in the instant case the mortuary and church are violating the law.

The law says that mortuaries and medical waste facilities are allowed to dispose of the remains. It says nothing about a mortuary handing the remains to a church for disposal (the ashes resulting from cremations are "remains," imo).

Imo, the mortuary has two options: (1) dispose of the remains as agreed, or (2) give the remains back to the clinic. Handing the remains to a third party that is neither a mortuary or a medical waste facility isn't allowed.
