§ 375. Permits for burial or removal of dead bodies. The body of any person
whose death occurs in this state or which shall be found dead therein shall not be
interred, deposited in a vault or tomb, cremated or otherwise disposed of or removed
from or into any registration district, or be temporarily held pending further dispo-
sition more than seventy-two hours after death unless a permit for burial, removal,
or other disposition thereof shall have been properly issued by the registrar of
vital statistics of the registration district in which the.death occurred or the body was
found. No such burial or removal permit shall be issued by any registrar until,
wherever practicable, a complete and satisfactory certificate of death has been filed
with him as heretofore provided; provided that when a dead body is transported from
outside of the state into a registration district in this state for burial, the transit or
removal permit issued in accordance with the law and health regulations of the place
where the death occurred shall be given the same force and effect as the burial
permit herein provided for. No registrars of vital statistics shall receive any fee for
the issuance of burial or removal permits under this act other than the compensation
provided in this article.* Provided, however, that the commissioner of health
shall have power to promulgate rules with reference to the removal of bodies of
persons whose deaths occur on trains, bqats or other carriers engaged in the trans-
