The burial-transit permit shall contain the information required on the blank furnished by the state department of health for the shipment of the dead and be properly signed by the local registrar. 3. The burial-transit permit shall be given to the person in charge of the corpse, or if shipped by express, attached to the shipping case in a strong envelope and in either case delivered with the body at the destination to the sexton or other person in charge of the cemetery. 4.
