No undertaker or other person shall bury or otherwise dispose of a human body in a town, or remove therefrom a human body which has not been buried, until he has received a permit from the board of health, or its agent appointed to issue such permits, or if there is no such board, from the clerk of the town where the person died; and no undertaker or other person shall exhume a human body and remove it from a town, from one cemetery to another, or from one grave or tomb other than the receiving tomb to another in the same cemetery, until he has received a permit from the board of health or its agent aforesaid or from the clerk of the town where the body is buried. No such permit shall be issued until there shall have been delivered to such board, agent or clerk, as the case may be, a satis- factory written statement containing the facts required by law to be returned and recorded, which shall be accompanied, in case of an original interment, by a satisfactory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as required by law, or in lieu thereof a certificate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending physician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, or is insufficient, a physician who is a member of the board of health, or employed by it or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall upon application make the certificate required of the attending physician. If death is caused by violence, the medical examiner shall make such certificate. If such a permit for the removal of a human body, not previously interred from one town to another within the common- wealth cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the possession of the undertaker desiring to make such removal shall constitute a permit for such re- moval; provided, that such body shall be returned to the town from which it was removed within thirty-six hours after such removal, unless a permit in the usual form for the removal of such body has been sooner obtained hereunder. If the death certificate contains a recital, as re- quired by section ten of chapter forty-six, that the deccased served in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States in any war in which it has been engaged, such recital shall appear upon the permit. The board of health, or its agent, upon receipt of such statement and certificate, shall forthwith countersign it and transmit it to the clerk of the town for registration. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician certifying the cause of death shall thereafter furnish for registration any other necessary information which can be obtained as to the deceased, or as to the manner or cause of the death, which the clerk or registrar may require. - Chap. 114, Sec. 45, G. L., as amended by Chap. 48, Acts of 1927 and Chap. 414, Acts of 1931.

Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies of only such persons as are supposed to have died by violence .... Gen. Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6.

.... He shall in all cases certify to the town clerk or registrar in the place where the deceased died his name and residence, if known; otherwise a description as full as may be, with the cause and manner of death .- Gen. Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 7.

No undertaker or other person shall bury a human body or the ashes thereof which have been brought into the commonwealth until he has received a permit so to do from the board of health or its agent appointed to issue such permits, or if there is no such board, from the clerk of the town where the body is to be buried or the funeral is to be held, or from a person appointed to have the care of the ceme- tery or burial ground in which the interment is made .... Chap. 114, Sec. 46, G. L. as amended.

RULES OF PRACTICE

The fulfillment of the purpose of these laws calls for the observance of the following rules of practice:

(1) Attending physicians will certify to such deaths only as those of persons to whom they have given bedside care during a last illness from disease unrelated to any form of injury.

(2) Board of Health physicians will certify to such deaths only as those of persons who, though disabled by recognized disease un- related to any form of injury, have died without recent medical attend- ance or whose physician is absent from home when the certificate of death is needed.

(3) Medical Examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths supposably due to injury. These include not only deaths caused directly or indirectly by traumatism (including resulting septicemia), and by the action of chemical (drugs or poisons), thermal, or electrical agents, and deaths following abortion, but also deaths from disease resulting from injury or infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persons found dead.

Statement of occupation .- Precise statement of occupation is ervy important, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be known. Make some entry in this section for every person aged 10 years or over. If the occupation had been given up or changed on account of the disease causing death, report the occupation prior to illness. If the deceased had retired from business, report the occupation prior to retirement. Children not gainfully employed may be returned' as at school or at home. For a woman whose only. occupation was that of home housework, write housework in answer to Question 8 and own home in answer to Question 9. For a person engaged in domestic service for wages, however, designate the occupation by the appropriate terms, as housekeeper-private family, cook-hotel, etc. For a person who had no occupation what- ever write none.

To be complete, an occupation return must state:

8 .- The trade, profession, or particular kind of work done.

9 .- The industry or business in which the work. was done.

10 .- The month and year the deceased last worked at the occupation.

11 .- The number of years the deceased followed the occupation.

In stating the occupation, avoid the use of such indefinite terms as "employee, " "worker," "operative, " etc. Find out the parti- cular kind of work done and return that, as spinner, weaver, etc.

In stating the industry or business, avoid the use of such general terms as "store, " "factory." "mill," etc. State the particular kind of store, factory, mill, etc., as grocery store, soap factory, cotton mill, etc.

Distinguish carefully the different kinds of engineers by stating the full descriptive titles, as civil engineer, mechanical engineer, mining engineer, stationary engineer, etc. Avoid the term "laborer" when a more precise statement of the occupation can be secured. Do not use the word "mechanic, " but give the exact occupation, as carpenter, painter, machinist, etc. Distinguish carefully between retail merchants and wholesale merchants. A person who sells goods should be called a salesman and not a clerk.

Statement of cause of death .- Cause of death means the disease, or complication which causes death, not the mode of dying, e. g., heart failure, asphyxia, asthenia, etc. As principal cause name the disease causing death. As related causes, name earlier morbid conditions, if any, related to the principal cause and any important complication of the principal cause. Under contributory causes of importance not related to principal cause, name other important diseases.

Example

The principal cause of death and related causes of importance in order of onset were as follows: Arteriosclerosis

1015

Chronic interstitial nephritis

Contributory causes of importance not related to principal cause:

In a group of causes containing the principal cause and related causes, the causes should be given in the order of onset, so that in a group of three causes the principal cause may appear in either first, second, or third position. The principal cause in the above example happens to be the second cause given.
