EXTRACTS FROM THE LAWS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
GOVERNING THE
RETURN OF CERTIFICATES OF DEATH
A physician or registered hospital medical offioer 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. 4 0, 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 lias been engaged, insert in the certificate a recital to that effect, speci-
fying the war, and shall also certify in such certificate both the primary
and the secondary or immediate 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 sec-
tion and of sections forty-five, forty-six and forty-seven of said chapter one
hundred and fourteen, tiie word ‘‘war” shall include the China relief ex-
pedition 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 Mexi-
can border service of nineteen hundred and sixteen and nineteen hundred
and seventeen. G. L. Chap. 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
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 physi-
cian 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 re-
quired 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 an-
other within the commonwealth cannot be obtained early enough for the
puipose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the pos-
session 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 re-
moval, 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 it- agent, upon receipt of such statement and certificate, shall
forthwith countersign it and transmit it to the clerk of the town for regis-
tration. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician cer-
tifying 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 re-
quire.— Chap. 114, Sec. 45, G. L., (Tercentenary Edition).
No undertaker or other person shall bury a human body or the ashei
thereof which have been brought into the commonwealth until he hat 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 per-
son appointed to have the care of the cemetery or burial ground in which
the interment is made. ... Chap. 114, Sec. 46, G. L., (Tercentenary Edi-
tion).
Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead
bodies of only such persons a» are supposed to have died by violence. If a
medical examiner has notice that there is within his county the body of
such a person, he shall forthwith go to the place where the body lies and
take charge of the same;... — General 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. —
General Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 7.
. . . The medical examiner certifies the cause and manner of death to the
best of his knowledge and belief.
RULES OF PRACTICE
The fulfillment of the purpose of these laws calls for the observance of
the following rules of practice:
(1) Attending physioians 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
form of injury, have died without recent medical attendance or whose physi-
cian is absent from home when the certificate of death is needed.
(RI Medical Examine” will investigate and certify to all deaths sup-
posably due to injury. These include not only deaths caused directly or in-
directly 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
Medical Examiners in certifying to a death will state the cause and
manner thereof, and will specify: (1) Under cause, the nature of an injury
and of its consequences; and (2) under manner, the mode of its production
together with the circumstances when these are known. For example: “Com-
pound fracture of the femur with ensuing septicemia (gas bacillus) caused
by a steam railway accident.” “Pistol shot wound of the chest with asso-
ciated hemorrhage, homicidal.” “Asphyxiation by suspension, suicidal.”
“Syncope while under the influence of ether administered as a surgical
anaesthetic." “Fracture of the skull with associated internal injury sus-
tained under circumstances unknown.”
If disease or injury was related to occupation, specify. If investigation
shows the death to have been due to disease, specify: (1) Under cause its
known or presumable nature; and (2) under manner, indicate the circum-
stances leading to medico-legal inquiry. For example: “Hemorrhage spon-
taneous of the brain (basal ganglia) (found dead in bed).” “Heart disease,
presumably coronary sclerosis. (Sudden death.)”
DESCRIPTION (for unknown person)
NOTICE TO UNDERTAKERS: No embalming; fluid, or any substitute therefor, shall be injected into the body of
any person supposed to have met his death by violence, until a permit, signed by the Medical Examiner, has first been
obtained. — General Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 14.

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 regis-
tration 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.
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 de-
livered to such board, agent or clerk, as the case may be, a satisfac-
tory 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 pur-
pose, shall upon application make the certificate required of the at-
tending physician. If death is caused by violence, the medical exam-
iner 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 a 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 registration. The person to whom the permit is so given
and the physician certifying the cause of death shall thereafter fur-
nish 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. 46,
G. L., (Tercentenary Edition.)
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 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 observ-
ance 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 ill-
ness from disease unrelated to any form of injury.
(2) Hoard 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
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 include not only deaths caused
directly or indirectly by traumatism (including resulting septice-
mia), and by the action of chemical (drugs or poisons), thermal,
or electrical agents, and deaths following abortion, but also deaths
from disease resulting front injury or infection related to occupa-
tion, 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 con-
ditions, if any, related to the principal cause and any important
complication of the principal cause.
Statement of Occupation. — Precise statement of occupation is very
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 usual
occupation prior to illness. If the deceased had retired from busi-
ness, 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,
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.

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 I’nited States in any war in which
It has been engaged, insert in the certificate a recital to that effect, sjieci-
fying the war. and shall also certify in such certificate both the primary
and the secondary or immediate cause of death as nearly as he can state

physician or officer shall forfeit ten dollars. For the purposes of this sec-
tion and of sections forty-five, fortv-si* and forty-seven of said chapter one
hundred and fourteen, the word “war” shall include the China relief ex-
pedition 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 Mexi-
can border service of nineteen hundred and sixteen and nineteen hundred

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

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.

of persons who, though disabled by recognized disease unrelated to any
form of injury, have died without recent medical attendance or whose physi-
cian is absent from home when the certificate of death is needed.
(3) Medloal Examiners will investigate and certify to all death* tup*
posably due to Injury. These include not only deaths caused directly or in-
directly by traumatism (including resulting septicemia), and by the action
of chemical (drugs or poisons), thermal, or electrical agents, and death*

Infeotion related to oooupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled
by reoognized disease, and those of persons found dead.

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 Oooupation. — Precise statement of occupation is very im-

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 regis-
tration 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.
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 de-
livered to such board, agent or clerk, as the case may be, a satisfac-
tory 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 pur-
pose, shall upon application make the certificate required of the at-
tending physician. If death is caused by violence, the medical exam-
iner 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 a 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 registration. The person to whom the permit is so given
and the physician certifying the cause of death shall thereafter fur-
nish for registration any other necessary information which can be
obtained ns to the deceased, or as to the manner or cause of the
death, which the clerk or registrar may require.— Chap. 114, Sec. 46,
G. L., (Tercentenary Edition.)
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 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 observ-
ance 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 ill-
ness 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 ar.y 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
sapposably due to injury. These include not only deaths caused
directly or indirectly by traumatism (including resulting septice-
mia), 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 occupa-
tion, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized
disease, and those of persons found dead.
Statement of Causo of Death. — Cause of death means the disease,
or complication which causes death, not the mode of dying, e. p.,
heart failure, asphyxia, asthenia, etc. As principal cause name the
disease causing death. As related causes, name earlier morbid con-
ditions, if any, related to the principal cause and any important
complication of the principal cause.
Statement of Occupation. — Precise statement of occupation is very
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 usual
occupation prior to illness. If the deceased had retired from busi-
ness, 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,
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.

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 re-
quired 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, speci-
fying the war, and shall also certify in such certificate both the primary
and the secondary or immediate 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 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 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 nine-
teen hundred and seventeen. G. L. Chap. 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 bh 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
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 physi-
cian 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 re-
quired of the attending physician. If death is caused by violence, the medi-
cal 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 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 neces-
sary 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).
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).
Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead
bodies of only such persons as are supposed to have died by violence.
If a medical examiner has notice that there is within his county the body
of such a person, he shall forthwith go to the place where the body lies
and take charge of the same; . . . — General Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6.
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
form 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 fo 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 heaLhfulness of various pursuits can he 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.
SPACE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

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

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, speci-
fying the war, and shall also certify in such certificate both the primary
and the secondary or immediate 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 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 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 nine-
teen hundred and seventeen. G. L. Chap. 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 be 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 unoriginal
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 physi-
cian 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 re-
quired of the attending physician. Tf death is caused by violence, the medi-
cal 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 lorty-six, that the deceased serveu 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 neces-
sary 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).
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 i$ no such board, from the clerk of the town
where the body is to be buried or the funeral is to he 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).
Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead
bodies of only such persons as are supposed to have died by violence.
If a medical examiner has notice that there is within his county the body
of such a person, he shall forthwith go to the place where the body lies
and take charge of the same; . . . — General Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6.
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
form 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), thermt^l, or electrical agents, and
deaths following abortion, but also yearns iroih 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 heallhfulness 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 medioal offioer 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, speci-
fying the war, and shall also certify in such certificate both the primary
and the secondary or immediate 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 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 relief ex-
pedition 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 Mexi-
can border service of nineteen hundred and sixteen and nineteen hundred
and seventeen. G. L. Chap. 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
til.- clerk of thp 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
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 physi-
cian 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 re-
quired 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 an-
other within the commonwealth cannot be obtained early enough for the
purpose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the pos-
session 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 re-
moval, 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
DESCRIPTION (for unknown person)
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 regis-
tration. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician cer-
tifying the cause of death -ball thereafter furnish for registration any other
necessary information which can be obtained as to the deceaoe.i, or as to
the manner or cause of ihe death, which the clerk or registrar may re-
quire.— Chap. 114, Sec. 4 5, G. L., (Tercentenary Edition).
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 sucli 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 per-
son appointed to have the care of the cemetery or burial ground in which
the interment is made. ... Chap. 114, Sec. 46, G. L., (Tercentenary Edi-
tion).
Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead
bodies of only such persons as are supposed to have died by violence. If a
medical examiner has notice that there is within his county the body of
such a person, he shall forthwith go to the place where the body lies and
take charge of the same;... — General 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. —
General Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 7.
. . . The medical examiner certifies the cause and manner of death to the
best of his knowledge and belief.
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
form of injury, have died without recent medical attendance or whose physi-
cian is absent from home when the certificate of death is needed.
(vl) Medical Examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths sup*
posably due to injury. These include not only deaths caused directly or in-
directly 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 front disease resulting from Injury or
Infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled
by reoognized disease, and those of persons found dead.
STATEMENT OF CAUSE OF DEATH
Medical Examiners in certifying to a death will state the cause and
manner thereof, and will specify: (1) Under cause, the nature of an injury
and of its consequences; and (2) under manneT, the mode of its production
together with the circumstances when these are known. For example: “Com-
pound fracture of the femur with ensuing septicemia (gas bacillus) caused
by a steam railway accident.” “Pistol shot wound of the chest with asso-
ciated hemorrhage, homicidal.” “Asphyxiation by suspension, suicidal.”
“Syncope while under the influence of ether administered as a surgical
anaesthetic." “Fracture of the skull with associated internal injury sus-
tained under circumstances unknown.”
If disease or injury was related to occupation, specify. If investigation
shows the death to have been due to disease, specify: (1) Under cause its
known or presumable nature; and (2) under manner, indicate the circum-
stances leading to medico-legal inquiry. For example: “Hemorrhage spon-
taneous of the brain (basal ganglia) (found dead in bed).” “Heart disease,
presumably coronary sclerosis. (Sudden death.)”
NOTICE TO UNDERTAKERS: No embalming fluid, or any substitute therefor, shall be injected into the body of
any person supposed to have met his death by violence, until a permit, signed by the Medical Examiner, has first been
obtained. — General Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 14.

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 re-
quired 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
bis death . . . Gen. Laws, Chap. 46, Sec. 9.
A physician or officer furnishing a certificate of death a9 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, speci-
fying the war, and shall also certify in such certificate both the primary
and the secondary or immediate 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 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 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

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
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 physi-
cian 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 re-
quired of the attending physician. If death is caused by violence, the medi-
cal 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

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

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 cause of death shall thereafter furnish for registration any other neces-
sary 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 only such persons as are supposed to have died by violence.
If a medical examiner has notice that there is within his county the body
of such a person, he shall forthwith go to the place where the body lies
and take charge of the same; . , . — General Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6.
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
form of injury, have died without recent medical attendance or whose phy-
sician is absent from home when the certificate of death is needed.

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.

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 regis-
tration 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.
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 de-
livered to such board, agent or clerk, as the case may be. a satisfac-
tory 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 pur-
pose, shall upon application make the certificate required of the at-
tending physician. If death is caused by violence, the medical exam-
iner 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 a 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 registration. The person to whom the permit is so given
and the physician certifying the cause of death shall thereafter fur-
nish 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.)
No undertaker or other person 3hall 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 observ-
ance 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 ill-
ness from disease unrelated to any form of injury.
(2) hoard 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
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 include not only deaths caused
directly or indirectly by traumatism (including resulting septice-
mia), 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 occupa-
tion, 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 con-
ditions, if any related to the principal cause and any important
complication of the principal cause.
Statement of Occupation. — Precise statement of occupation is very
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 usual
occupation prior to illness. If the deceased had retired from busi-
ness, 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
houseivork. For a person engaged in domestic service for wages,
however, designate tThe text goes on. The rest is in the file.
