§ 23-06-07 — Regulation of final disposition - Issuance of final disposition-transit permit regulated

regulated.
The body of any individual whose death occurs in this state may not be interred, deposited
in a vault or tomb, cremated, donated to a school of medicine, or otherwise disposed as
authorized by law, until a final disposition-transit permit has been properly issued by a
subregistrar. If the certificate is incorrect or incomplete, the subregistrar may not issue the
permit until it is corrected or completed. In the case of any death outside of this state, a final
disposition-transit permit issued in accordance with the law and the health regulations in force in
the state where the death occurred, when accompanying a body shipped through or into this
state, may be accepted with the same effect as a permit from a subregistrar. If the death
occurred from some disease that is held to be communicable by the department of health and
human services, the subregistrar shall refuse to issue a permit for the removal or other

disposition of the body except under the conditions prescribed by the department of health and
human services and the local board of health.
