True or False: A disinterment application must be signed by the next-of-kin or upon receipt of a court order.

The statement is true because a disinterment application typically requires the consent of the next-of-kin, as they hold the legal and ethical responsibility for the deceased's remains. In the absence of the next-of-kin's consent, obtaining a court order is necessary to authorize the disinterment. This legal requirement respects the wishes of the family and provides a clear process for addressing any disputes that may arise regarding the handling of the deceased's remains. By ensuring that either the next-of-kin or the court approves the disinterment, the law aims to protect the interests of the family while also respecting the dignity of the deceased.
