Rules of the New Hampshire State Board of Health, for the Transportation of the Dead.
RULE 1. The transportation of bodies dead of small pox, Asiatic cholera, yellow fever, typhus fever, or bubonic plague, is absolutely for- bidden. RULE 2. The bodies of those who have died of diphtheria (membranous croup), scarlet fever (scarlatina, scarlet rash), glanders, anthrax, or leprosy shall not be accepted for transportation unless prepared for shipment by being thoroughly disinfected by (a) arterial and cavity injection with an approved disinfectant fluid, (b) disinfecting and stopping of all orifices with absorbent cotton, and (c) washing the body with the disin- fectant, all of which must be done by a licensed embalmer, holding a certificate as such, approved by the State Board of Health. After being dis- infected as above, such body shall be enveloped in a layer of cotton not less than one inch thick, completely wrapped in a sheet and bandaged, and encased in an air-tight zinc, tin, copper, or lead-lined coffin, or iron casket, all joints and seams hermetically soldered, and all enclosed in a strong, tight wooden box. Or, the body being prepared for shipment by disinfecting and wrapping as above, may be placed in a strong coffin or casket, and said coffin or casket encased in an air-tight zinc, copper, or tin case, all joints and seams hermetically soldered, and all enclosed in a strong outside wooden box.
RULE 3. Bodies dead of typhoid fever, puerperal fever, erysipelas, tuberculosis, and measles, or other dangerous communicable diseases, other than those specified in Rules 1 and 2, may be received for transportation when prepared for shipment by filling cavities with an approved disinfectant, washing the exterior of the body with the same, stopping all orifices with absorbent cotton, and enveloping the entire body with a layer of cotton not less than one inch thick, and all wrapped in a sheet and bandaged, and encased in an air-tight coffin or casket. Provided, That this shall apply only to bodies which can reach their destination within forty-eight hours from time of death. In all other cases such bodies shall be prepared for transportation in conformity with Rule 2. But when the body has been prepared for shipment by being thoroughly disin- fected by a licensed embalmer, holding a certificate as in Rule 2, the air-tight sealing and bandaging with cotton may be dispensed with.
RULE 4. Bodies dead of diseases that are not contagious, infectious, or communicable, may be received for transportation when encased in a sound coffin or casket and enclosed in a strong outside wooden box. Provided, They reach their destination within thirty hours from the time of death. If the body cannot reach its destination within thirty hours from time of death, it must be prepared for shipment by filling cavities with an approved disinfectant, washing the exterior of the body with the same, stopping all orifices with absorbent cotton and enveloping the entire body with a layer of cotton not less than one inch thick, and all wrapped in a sheet and bandaged, and encased in an air-tight coffin or casket. But when the body has been prepared for shipment by being thoroughly disinfected by a licensed embalmer, holding a certificate as in Rule 2, the air-tight sealing and bandaging with cotton may be dispensed with.
RULE 5. In cases of contagious, infectious, or communicable diseases, the body must not be accompanied by persons or articles which have been exposed to the infection of the disease, unless certified by the health officers as having been properly disinfected; and before selling pass- age tickets agents shall carefully examine the transit permit and note the name of the passenger in charge, and of any others proposing to accom- ... pany the body, and see that all necessary precautions have been taken to prevent the spread of the disease. The transit permit shall specifically state who is authorized by the health authorities to accompany the remains. In all cases where bodies are forwarded under Rule 2, notice must be sent by telegraph to the health officer at destination, advising the date and train on which the body may be expected. This notice must be sent by or in the name of the health officer at the initial point, and is to enable the health officer at destination to take all necessary precautions at that point.
RULE 6. Every dead body must be accompanied by a person in charge, who must be provided with a passage ticket and also present a full first-class ticket marked "corpse" for the transportation of the body, and a transit permit-showing physician's or coroner's certificate, health officer's permit for removal, undertaker's certificate, name of deceased, date and hour of death, age, place of death, cause of death, and if of a contagious, infectious, or communicable nature, the point to which the body is to be shipped, and when death is caused by any of the diseases specified in Rule 2, the names of those authorized by the health authorities to accompany the body. The transit permit must be made in duplicate, and the signatures of the physician or coroner, health officer, and undertaker must be on both the original and duplicate copies. The under- taker's certificate and paster of the original shall be detached from the transit permit and pasted on the coffin box. The physician's certificate and transit permit shall be handed to the passenger in charge of corpse. The whole duplicate copy shall be sent to the official in charge of the bag- gage department of the initial line, and by him to the Secretary of the State or Provincial Board of Health of the State or Province from which said shipment was made.
RULE 7. When dead bodies are shipped by express, the transit permit must be made in triplicate, and the signature of the physician or coroner, health officer and undertaker must be on all three permits. Of these transit permits, one copy shall be securely fastened upon the outside of the box one copy shall be forwarded by the express agent to the party to whom the body is shipped. and one copy shall be forwarded by the express agent to the secretary of the State or Provincial Board of Health of the state or province from which said shipment was made.
RULE 8. Every disinterred body, dead from any disease or cause, shall be treated as infectious or dangerous to the public health and shall not be accepted for transportation unless said removal has been approved by the State or Provincial health authorities having jurisdiction where such body is disinterred, and the consent of the health authorities of the locality to which the corpse is consigned has first been obtained; and all such disinterred remains shall be enclosed in a hermetically sealed (soldered), zinc, tin, or copper-lined coffin or box. Bodies deposited in receiv- ing vaults will be treated and considered the same as buried bodies.
RULE 9. The bodies of all persons who die in New Hampshire that are to be shipped by public conveyance, even though the initial point of such shipment be a railway station outside the state, must be prepared and forwarded in accordance with the regulations in force in the state of New Hampshire.
RULE 10. All rules and parts of rules conflicting with these rules are hereby repealed.
The foregoing rules have been adopted by the State Board of Health of the State of New Hampshire and have the force and validity of law virtue of the authority vested in said State Board of Health by Sec. 4, Chap. 76, Laws of 1899.
