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 belief the name of the deceased, his supposed age. the disease of which he died. defined as required by section one, where same was contracted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive by the physician or officer and the date of his death. . . Gen. Laws, Chap. 46, Sec. 9.


A physician or officer furnishing a certificate of death as required by the preceding section or by section forty-five of chapter one hundred and four- teen, shall. if the deceased, to the best of his knowledge and belief, served in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States in any war in which it has been engaged. insert in the certificate a recital to that effect, specifying the war, and shall also certify in such certificate both the primary and the secondary or imme- diate cause of death as nearly as he can state the same. For neglect to comply with any provision of this section, such physician or officer, shall forfeit ten dollars. For the purposes of this section and of sections forty-five, forty-six and forty-seven of said chapter one hundred and fourteen, the word "war" shall include the China relief expedition and the Philippine insurrection, which shall, for said purposes, be deemed to have taken place between February fourteenth, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight and July fourth, nineteen hundred and two, and the Mexican border service of-nineteen hundred and sixteen and ninetcen hundred and seventeen. G. L. Chấp. 46, Sec. 10.


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 satisfactory written statement containing the facts required by law to be returned and recorded, which shall be accompanied. in case of an original inter- ment, 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 commonwealth 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 removal; 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 required by section ten of chapter forty-six, that the deceased 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 registra- tion. 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., (Tercentenary Edition).


Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies of persons as are supposed to have died by violence, or by the action of chemical, thermal or electrical agents or following abortion, or from diseases resulting from injury or infection relating to occupation, or suddenly when not disabled by recognizable disease, or when any person is found dead. .. - General Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6., as amended by Chap. 632. Sec. 4. Acts of 1945.


No undertaker or other persons 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 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 follow- ing 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 deathsonly as those of persons who, though disabled by recognized disease unrelated to any form of injury, have died without recent medical attendance 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 And Die mon dily 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 .- Physicians: see explanatory instructions on face side of standard certificate of death.


Statement of Occupation .- Precise statement of occupation is very import- ant, 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 occupa- tion had been given up or changed, or if the deceased had retired from business, report the kind of work done during most of working life even if retired. 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, however, designate the occupation by the appropriate terms, as housekeeper-private family, cook-hotel, etc. For a person who had no occupation whatever write none.
