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 physician* 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.
(S) Medical Examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths sup-
posahly due to injury. These include not only deaths caused P1
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 trom
injury or infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not
j- i- '.-.-A .tiennon onH n^rsnns 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.

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

obtained hereunder. If the death certificate contains a recital, as required
by section ten ot chapter lony-iix, 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.
'I he 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).
Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead
bodies of only such persons as are supposed to have died by violence.

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.
(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 c^use 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 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 tnc 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 temb 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
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
s pepnit 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 or cnapter loriy-six, luat tne 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).
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 bis 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).

EXTRACT8 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 bis 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 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
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 ui cnapter toriy-six, tuat tne 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).
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.
(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 belief the
name of the deceased, his supposed age, the disease of which he died,
definded 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 receiv-
ing 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 in-
sufficient, a physician who is a member of the board of health, or em-
ployed 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 cer ificate. 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 re-
moval 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 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 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 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
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 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
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 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, 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.
SPACE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
should bo carefully supplied. ACK should bo stated EXACTLY. PHYSICIANS should state CAUSE OF DEATH in plain
terms, so that it may bo properly classified. Exact statement of OCCUPATION is very important. See instructions end
extracts from the laws on back of certificate.
If deceased was a U. S. War Vataran, Q. L. Chap. 46. Seotlon 10, requires phyelolans to Insert a reoltal to that affaot.

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

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
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

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).
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 orbits agent appointed to
issue such permits, or if there is no such board, front 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

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-
ortant, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be known,
fake 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.

EXTRACT8 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 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
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 oi chapter iorty-six, tnat 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).
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 prac;ice:
(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 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 belief the name of the
deceased, his supposed age, the disease of which be 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 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
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 ot cnapicr loily-tix, tuat tnc 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).
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.
(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 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
tfhere 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
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 leu oi cliapier lorty-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).
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.
(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 th^
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.
