No undertaker or other person shall bury a human body or the ashes thereof which have been brought into the commonwealth until he has re- ceived 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 cemetery or burial ground in which the interment is made. ... Chap. 114, Sec. 46, G. L., (Tercentenary Edition).


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 unrelated to any forin of injury, have died without recent medical attendance or whose phy- sician is absent from home when the certificate of death is needed.


(3) Medical Examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths sup- posably 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 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.


Statement of Occupation .- Precise statement of occupation is very im- portant, 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 usual occupation prior to illness. If the deceased had retired from business, report the usual 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. For a person engaged in domestic service for wages, how- ever, designate the occupation by the appropriate terms, as housekeeper- private family, cook-hotel, etc. For a person who had no occupation whatever write none.

EXTRACTS FROM THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNING THE RETURN OF CERTIFICATES OF DEATH


A physician or registered hospital medical officer shall forthwith, after the death of a person whom he has attended during his last illness, at the request of an undertaker or other authorized person or of any member of the family of the deceased, furnish for registration a standard certificate of death, stating to the best of his knowledge and helief the name of the deceased, his supposed age, the disease of which he died, defined as re- quired hy section one, where same was contracted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive hy the physician or officer and the date of his death ... Gen. Laws, Chap. 46, Sec. 9.

For neglect to comply with any provision of this section, such physician or officer shall forfeit ten dollars. For the purposes of this sec- tion and of sections forty five, forty-six and forty-seven of said chapter one hundred and fourteen, the word "war" shall include the China relicf expedition and the Philippine insurrection, which shall, for said purposes, he deemed to have taken place hetwecn February fourteenth, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight and July fourth, nineteen hundred and two, and the Mexican horder service of nineteen hundred and sixteen and nine- teen hundred and seventeen. G. L. Chap. 46, Sec. 10.
