HAR §11-22-6. Transportation of bodies

(a) By common carrier 22-6 (1) The transportation of dead human bodies by a common carrier shall be conducted in such a manner as not to be a menace to the health of the general public. (2) A burial-transit permit issued pursuant to chapter 338, HRS, or chapter 841, HRS, shall accompany the body. (3) The body must be placed in a coffin or casket. If the death resulted from a disease specified in §11-22-4(a) (3) and the body is not embalmed, it shall be placed in a hermetically sealed coffin or casket and encased in an outer box; provided, however, that no section of this chapter shall be interpreted to prohibit the transportation of dead bodies without the use of an outer case or box in closed vehicles designed exclusively for the transportation of dead human bodies. (b) Disinterred bodies. No disinterred body shall be shipped or transported within the State or out of the State without approval by the director. Such approval shall be given in the form of burial-transit permit, provided that no burial-transit permit shall be issued until a disinterment permit is issued in accordance with section 338-25.5, HRS.
