Disinterment

No person, except a licensed funeral practitioner, after having obtained a permit from the state registrar of vital statistics, shall disinter the body of a deceased person, providing the authorities in charge of a cemetery may transfer bodies buried therein from one part of such cemetery to another part thereof with the approval of the local health officer. All disinterred remains must be encased in a tight container or strong box. The disinterment permit shall be on the regular burial-transit permit and shall be issued only by the state registrar to funeral practioners duly licensed in North Dakota.
