Authorizing agents or persons having the right to direct disposition may change funeral establishments without conflict to the "place and method of disposition," as defined in RCW 68.50.160 (1) and (2). Licensees must permit the release of human remains to another funeral establishment if requested by the authorizing agent or person(s) having the right to direct disposition, even when a prearrangement contract exists.

Prearrangement contract trust or insurance funds must be made available to the funeral establishment designated by the authorizing agent.
