§ 23-06-09 — Disposition of final disposition-transit permit

The funeral practitioner, or individual acting as funeral practitioner, shall secure the final
disposition-transit permit from the subregistrar. The funeral practitioner, or person acting as
funeral practitioner, shall deliver such permit to the sexton or person in charge of the place of
final disposition before interring the body, cremating the body, donating the body to a medical
school, or otherwise disposing of the body as authorized by law, or shall attach it to the box
containing the corpse when the same is shipped by any transportation company. Such permit
must be accepted by the sexton or person in charge as authority for the final disposition of the
body. A body may not be accepted for carriage by a common carrier unless the permit is
attached as required in this section.
