EXTRACTS
FROM THE LAWS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
GOVERNING THE
RETURN OF CERTIFICATES OF DEATH
A physician or registered hospital medical officer shall forthwith, after the
death of a person whom he has attended during his last illness, at the request
of an undertaker or other authorized person or of any member of the family of
the deceased, furnish for registration a standard certificate of death, stating to the
best of his knowledge and belief the name of the deceased, his supposed age, the
disease of which he died, defined as required by section one, where same was
contracted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive by the physician
or officer and the date of his death. . .Gen. Laws, Chap. 46, Sec. 9.
A physician or officer furnishing a certificate of death as required by the
preceding section or by section forty-five of chapter one hundred and four-
teen, shall, if the deceased, to the best of his knowledge and belief, served in the
army, navy or marine corps of the United States in any war in which it has been
engaged, insert in the certificate a recital to that effect, specifying the war, and
shall also certify in such certificate both the primary and the secondary or imme-
diate cause of death as nearly as he can state the same. For neglect to comply
with any provision of this section, such physician or officer, shall forfeit ten dollars.
For the purposes of this section and of sections forty-five, forty-six and forty-seven
of said chapter one hundred and fourteen, the word “war” shall include the China
relief expedition and the Philippine insurrection, which shall, for said purposes, be
deemed to have taken place between February fourteenth, eighteen hundred and
ninety-eight and July fourth, nineteen hundred and two. and the Mexican border
service of nineteen hundred and sixteen and 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 inter-
ment, by a satisfactory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as required by
law, or in lieu thereof a certificate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending
physician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early
enough for the purpose, or is insufficient, a physician who is a member of the board
of health, or employed by it or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall upon
application make the certificate required of the attending physician. If death is
caused by violence, the medical examiner shall make such certificate. If such a
permit for the removal of a human body, not previously interred, from one town
to another within the commonwealth cannot be obtained early enough for the
purpose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the possession of
the undertaker desiring to make such removal shall constitute a permit for such
removal; provided, that such body shall be returned to the town from which it was
removed within thirty-six hours after such removal, unless a permit in the usual
form for the removal of such body has been sooner obtained hereunder. If the
death certificate contains a recital, as required by section ten of chapter forty-six,
that the deceased served in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States
in any war in which it has been engaged, such recital shall appear upon the permit.
The board of health, or its agent, upon receipt of such statement and certificate,
shall forthwith countersign it and transmit it to the clerk of the town for registra-
tion. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician certifying
the cause of death shall thereafter furnish for registration any other necessary
information which can be obtained as to the deceased, or as to the manner or
cause of the death, which the clerk or registrar may require. — Chap. 114, Sec. 45,
G. L., (Tercentenary Edition).
Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies
of persons as are supposed to have died by violence, or by the action of
chemical, thermal or ejectrical^ agents pr following abortion, or from diseases
resulting from injury M jnfectlpn relatirlg to occupation, or suddenly when not
disabled by recognizable disease, or when any person is found dead. — General
Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6., as amended by Chap. 632, Sec. 4, Acts of 1945.
No undertaker or othe^per^iWsWll bury a human body or the ashes thereof
which have been brought into th$ commonwealth until he has received a permit
so to do from the board .rif health or'Vts' agent appointed to issue such permits, or
if there is no such board. fr6nj-‘t'he‘ele£k of the town where the body is to be buried
or the funeral is to be ti4ld;,'‘or from a p£rsc*p. appointed to have the care of the
cemetery or burial grouml'in which the-interment is made.
. . . Chap. 1 14, oec. '46; G. L., (Tercentenary Edition).

ij 3X.ULES .OF PRACTICE
The fulfillment of the puqikse the^e faws calls for the observance of the follow-
ing rules of practice: ' /’* . tc-..
(1) Attending physicians wijty jpertify 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 bra'eppfmzed' disease unrelated to any form of
injury, have died withqijjt r^errr (jjttiridlance or whose physician is absent
from home when the certificate of aeafh 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. — Physicians: see explanatory instructions
on face side of standard certificate of death.
Statement of Occupation. — Precise statement of occupation is very import-
ant, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be known. Make
spme entry in this section for every person aged 10 years or over. If the occupa-
tion had been given up or changed, or if the deceased had retired from business,
report the kind of work done during most of working life even if retired. Children
not gainfully employed may be returned as at school or at home. For a woman
whose only occupation was that of home housework, write housework. For a
person engaged in domestic service for wages, however, designate the occupation
by the appropriate terms, as housekeeper — private family, cook — hotel, etc. For
a person who had no occupation whatever write none.

shall have been delivered to such board, agent or clerk, as the case may be,
a satisfactory written statement containing the facts required by law to be
returned and recorded, which shall be accompanied, in case of an original inter-
ment, by a satisfactory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as required by
law, or in lieu thereof a certificate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending
physician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early
enough for the purpose, or is insufficient, a physician who is a member of the board
of health, or employed by it or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall upon
application make the certificate required of the attending physician. If death is
caused by violence, the medical examiner shall make such certificate. If such a
permit for the removal of a human body, not previously interred, from one town
to another within the commonwealth cannot be obtained early enough for the
purpose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the possession of
the undertaker desiring to make such removal shall constitute a permit for such
removal; provided, that such body shall be returned to the town from which it was
removed within thirty-six hours after such removal, unless a permit in the usual
form for the removal of such body has been sooner obtained hereunder. If the
death certificate contains a recital, as required by section ten of chapter forty-six,
that the deceased served in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States
in any war in which it has been engaged, such recital shall appear upon the permit.
The board of health, or its agent, upon receipt of such statement and certificate,
shall forthwith countersign it and transmit it to the clerk of the town for registra-
tion. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician certifying
the cause of death shall thereafter furnish for registration any other necessary
information which can be obtained as to the deceased, or as to the manner or
cause of the death, which the clerk or registrar may require. — Chap. 1 14, Sec. 45,
G. L., (Tercentenary Edition).
Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies
of persons as are supposed to have died by violence, or by the action of
chemical, thermal or electrical agents or following abortion, or from diseases
resulting from injury or infection relating to occupation, or suddenly when not
disabled by recognizable disease, or when any per son is found dead. — General
Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6., as amended fiy5Pta|L 6.>2,.Sec. 4, Acts of 1945.
No undertaker or other persons shall bury a human body or the ashes thereof
which have been brought into the commphwealtTn yptjl he has received a permit

RULES OF. ^PRACTICE
The fulfillment of the purpose of these jiuys.calls for. the observance of the follow-
ing rules of practice: '
(1) Attending physicians will (^ftiTyJfo sijbh deatnsjjnly as those of persons
to whom they have given bedside care/tfurirfgF^lafiC tUntjss from disease unrelated
to any form of injury. ' • J f \ '*
(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^rteedetfr | Q P fl ' Vf
(3) Medical Examiners will invesd|(Vj4 SiftI |eftjf3 vtb aJl’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. — Physicians: see explanatory instructions
on face side of standard certificate of death.
Statement of Occupation.— Precise statement of occupation is very import-
ant, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be known. Make
spme entry in this section for every person aged 10 years or over. If the occupa-
tion had been given up or changed, or if the deceased had retired from business,
report the kind of work done during most of working life even if retired. Children
not gainfully employed may be returned as at school or at home. For a woman
whose only occupation was that of home housework, write housework. For a
person engaged in domestic service for wages, however, designate the occupation
by the appropriate terms, as housekeeper — private family, cook — hotel, etc. For
a person who had no occupation whatever write none.

FROM THE LAWS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
GOVERNING THE
RETURN OF CERTIFICATES OF DEATH
A physician or registered hospital medical officer shall forthwith, after the
death of a person whom he has attended during his last illness, at the 'request
of an undertaker or other authorized person or of any member of the family of
the deceased, furnish for registration a standard certificate of death, stating to the
best of his knowledge and belief the name of the deceased, his supposed age, the
disease of which he died, defined as required by section one. where same was
contracted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive by the physician
or officer and the date of his death. . .Gen. Laws, Chap. 46, Sec. 9.
A physician or officer furnishing a certificate of death as required by the
preceding section or by section forty-five of chapter one hundred and four-
teen, shall, if the deceased, to the best of his knowledge and belief, served in the
army, navy or marine corps of the United States in any war in which it has been
engaged, insert in the certificate a recital to that effect, specifying the war, and
shall also certify in such certificate both the primary’ and the secondary or imme-
diate cause of death as nearly as he can state the same. For neglect to comply
with any provision of this section, such physician or officer, shall forfeit ten dollars.
For the purposes of this section and of sections forty-five, forty-six and forty-seven
of said chapter one hundred and fourteen, the word “war" shall include the China
relief expedition and the Philippine insurrection, which shall, for said purposes, be
deemed to have taken place between February fourteenth, eighteen hundred and
ninety-eight and July fourth, nineteen hundred and two, and the Mexican border

G. L. Chap. 46, Sec. 10.
No undertaker or other person shall bury or otherwise dispose of a human body

has received a permit from the board of health, or its agent appointed to issue
such permits, or if there is no such board, from the clerk of the town where the
person died; and no undertaker or other person shall exhume a human body and
remove it from a town, from one cemetery to another, or from one grave or tomb
other than the receiving tomb to another in the same cemetery, until he has
received a permit from the board of health or its agent aforesaid or from the clerk
of the town where the body is buried. No such permit shall be issued until there
shall have been delivered to such board, agent or clerk, as the case may be,
a satisfactory written statement containing the facts required by law to be
returned and recorded, which shall be accompanied, in case of an original inter-
ment, by a satisfactory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as required by
law, or in lieu thereof a certificate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending
physician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early
enough for the purpose, or is insufficient, a physician who is a member of the board
of health, or employed by it or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall upon
application make the certificate required of the attending physician. If death is
caused by violence, the medical examiner shall make such certificate. If such a
permit for the removal of a human body, not previously interred, from one town
to another within the commonwealth cannot be obtained early enough for the
purpose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the possession of
the undertaker desiring to make such removal shall constitute a permit for such
removal; provided, that such body shall be returned to the town from which it was
removed within thirty-six hours after such removal, unless a permit in the usual
form for the removal of such body has been sooner obtained hereunder. If the
death certificate contains a recital, as required by section ten of chapter forty-six,

in any war in which it has been engaged, such recital shall appear upon the permit.
The board of health, or its agent, upon receipt of such statement and certificate,
shall forthwith countersign it and transmit it to the clerk of the town for registra-
tion. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician certifying
the cause of death shall thereafter furnish for registration any other necessary
information which can be obtained as to the deceased, or as to the manner or
cause of the death, which the clerk or registrar may require. — Chap. 114, Sec. 45,
G. L., (Tercentenary Edition).
Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies
of persons as are supposed to have died by violence, or by the action of
chemical, thermal or electrical agents or following abortion, or from diseases
resulting from injury or infection relating to occupation, or suddenly when not
disabled by recognizable disease, or when any person is found dead. — General
Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6 , as amended by Chap. 632, Sec. 4, Acts of 1945.
No undertaker or other persons shall bury a human body or the ashes thereof
which have been brought into the commonwealth until he has received a permit

A physician or registered hospital medical officer shall forthwith, after the
death of a person whom he has attended during his last illness, at the ‘request
of an undertaker or other authorized person or of any member of the family of
the deceased, furnish for registration a standard certificate of death, stating to the
best of his knowledge and belief the name of the deceased, his supposed age, the
disease of which he died, defined as required by section one, where same was
contracted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive by the physician
or officer and the date of his death. . .Gen. Laws, Chap. 46, Sec. 9.
A physician or officer furnishing a certificate of death as required by the
preceding section or by section forty-five of chapter one hundred and four-
teen, shall, if the deceased, to the best of his knowledge and belief, served in the
army, navy or marine corps of the United States in any war in which it has been
engaged, insert in the certificate a recital to that effect, specifying the war, and
shall also certify in such certificate both the primary and the secondary or imme-
diate cause of death as nearly as he can state the same. For neglect to comply
with any provision of this section, such physician or officer, shall forfeit ten dollars.
For the purposes of this section and of sections forty-five, forty-six and forty-seven
of said chapter one hundred and fourteen, the word “war” shall include the China
relief expedition and the Philippine insurrection, which shall, for said purposes, be
deemed to have taken place between February fourteenth, eighteen hundred and

EXTRACTS
FROM THE LAWS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
GOVERNING THE
RETURN OF CERTIFICATES OF DEATH
A physician or registered hospital medical officer shall forthwith, after the
death of a person whom he has attended during his last illness, at the request
of an undertaker or other authorized person or of any member of the family of
the deceased, furnish for registration a standard certificate of death, stating to the
best of his knowledge and belief the name of the deceased, his supposed age, the
disease of which he died, defined as required by section one, where same was
contracted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive by the physician
or officer and the date of his death. . .Gen. Laws, Chap. 46, Sec. 9.
A physician or officer furnishing a certificate of death as required by the
preceding section or by section forty-five of chapter one hundred and four-
teen, shall, if the deceased, to the best of his knowledge and belief, served in the
army, navy or marine corps of the United States in any war in which it has been
engaged, insert in the certificate a recital to that effect, specifying the war, and
shall also certify in such certificate both the primary and the secondary or imme-
diate cause of death as nearly as he can state the same. For neglect to comply
with any provision of this section, such physician or officer, shall forfeit ten dollars.
For the purposes of this section and of sections forty-five, forty-six and forty-seven
Df 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 nineteen hundred and seventeen.
G. L. Chap. 46, Sec. 10.
No undertaker or other person shall bury or otherwise dispose of a human body
n a town, or remove therefrom a human body which has not been buried, until he
das 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
•emove it from a town, from one cemetery to another, or from one grave or tomb
Dther 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
}f the town where the body is buried. No such permit shall be issued until there
shall have been delivered to such board, agent or clerk, as the case may be,
a satisfactory written statement containing the facts required by law to be
returned and recorded, which shall be accompanied, in case of an original inter-
ment, by a satisfactory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as required by
law, or in lieu thereof a certificate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending
physician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early
enough for the purpose, or is insufficient, a physician who is a member of the board
of health, or employed by it or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall upon
application make the certificate required of the attending physician. If death is
caused by violence, the medical examiner shall make such certificate. If such a
permit for the removal of a human body, not previously interred, from one town
to another within the commonwealth cannot be obtained early enough for the
purpose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the possession of
the undertaker desiring to make such removal shall constitute a permit for such
removal; provided, that such body shall be returned to the town from which it was
removed within thirty-six hours after such removal, unless a permit in the usual
form for the removal of such body has been sooner obtained hereunder. If the
death certificate contains a recital, as required by section ten of chapter forty-six,
that the deceased served in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States
in any war in which it has been engaged, such recital shall appear upon the permit.
The board of health, or its agent, upon receipt of such statement and certificate,
shall forthwith countersign it and transmit it to the clerk of the town for registra-
tion. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician certifying
the cause of death shall thereafter furnish for registration any other necessary
information which can be obtained as to the deceased, or as to the manner or
cause of the death, which the clerk or registrar may require. — Chap. 114, Sec. 45,
G. L., (Tercentenary Edition).
Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies
of persons as are supposed to.Jiaye died by violence, or by the action of
chemical, thermal or electrical agents or following abortion, or from diseases
resulting from injury or infection relating to occupation, or suddenly when not
disabled by recognizable disease, or when any person is found dead. . — General
Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6., as ajhend^d by/Chap. 632, Sec. 4, Acts of 1945.
No undertaker or other pejrsops shall „bury a human body or the ashes thereof
which have been brought into jthe.tornnton wealth until he has received a permit
so to do from the board of health ‘pfits 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 h6ld,.-or from a person appointed to have the care of the
cemetery or burial ground in. which the intprment is made.

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 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 inter-
ment, by a satisfactory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as required by
law, or in lieu thereof a certificate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending
physician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early
enough for the purpose, or is insufficient, a physician who is a member of the board
of health, or employed by it or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall upon
application make the certificate required of the attending physician. If death is
caused by violence, the medical examiner shall make such certificate. If such a
permit for the removal of a human body, not previously interred, from one town
to another within the commonwealth cannot be obtained early enough for the
purpose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the possession of
the undertaker desiring to make such removal shall constitute a permit for such
removal; provided, that such body shall be returned to the town from which it was
removed within thirty-six hours after such removal, unless a permit in the usual
form for the removal of such body has been sooner obtained hereunder. If the
death certificate contains a recital, as required by section ten of chapter forty-six,
that the deceased served in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States
in any war in which it has been engaged, such recital shall appear upon the permit.
The board of health, or its agent, upon receipt of such statement and certificate,
shall forthwith countersign it and transmit it to the clerk of the town for registra-
tion. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician certifying
the cause of death shall thereafter furnish for registration any other necessary
information which can be obtained as to the deceased, or as to the manner or
cause of the death, which the clerk or registrar may require. — Chap. 114, Sec. 45,
G. L., (Tercentenary Edition).
Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies
of persons as are supposed to have died by violence, or by the action of
chemical, thermal or electrical agents or following abortion, or from diseases
resulting from injury or infection relating to occupation, or suddenly when not
disabled by recognizable disease, or when any person is found dead. . — General
Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6 , as amended J^Qhag. -6,52, Sec. 4, Acts of 1945.
No undertaker or other persons shall bury a human body or the ashes thereof
which have been brought into the commonwealth until he has received a permit
so to do from the board of health or its^ager^t ajjpdlnted to issue such permits, or
if there is no such board, from the Mettf<5f/the town where the body is to be buried
or the funeral is to be held, or from, a persotj '^pp^in ted to have the care of the
cemetery or burial ground in which the ifuerrpen.t js made.

RULES jQF PRACTICE
The fulfillment of the purpose of thesedaws calls for the observance of the follow-
ing rules of practice: ~
(1) Attending physicians will 'certify ttV^aUh deaths only as those of persons
to whom they have given bedside care. during a Ia5t iflqesS from disease unrelated
to any form of injury.
(2) Board of Health physicians vfrill /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 de^h is needed.
(3) Medical Examiners will afddj gh&fjy tt^all deaths supposably
due to injury. These include notMmly" deaths Hfr^ectly or indirectly by
traumatism (including resulting septicemia), and by the action of chemical
(drugs or poisons) thermal, or electrical agents, and deaths following abortion, but
also deaths from disease resulting from injury or infection related to occupation,
the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of
persons found dead.
Statement of Cause of Death. — Physicians: see explanatory instructions
on face side of standard certificate of death.
Statement of Occupation. — Precise statement of occupation is very import-
ant, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be known. Make
spme entry in this section for every person aged 10 years or over. If the occupa-
tion had been given up or changed, or if the deceased had retired from business,
report the kind of work done during most of working life even if retired. Children
not gainfully employed may be returned as at school or at home. For a woman
whose only occupation was that of home housework, write housework. For a
person engaged in domestic service for wages, however, designate the occupation
by the appropriate terms, as housekeeper — private family, cook — hotel, etc. For
a person who had no occupation whatever write none.

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

preceding section or by section forty-five of chapter one hundred and four-
teen, shall, if the deceased, to the best of his knowledge and belief, served in the
army, navy or marine corps of the United States in any war in which it has been
engaged, insert in the certificate a recital to that effect, specifying the war, and
shall also certify in such certificate both the primary and the secondary or imme-
diate cause of death as nearly as he can state the same. For neglect to comply
with any provision of this section, such physician or officer, shall forfeit ten dollars.

disease of which he died, defined as required by section one, where same was
contracted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive by the physician
or officer and the date of his death. . .Gen. Laws, Chap. 46, Sec. 9.
A physician or officer furnishing a certificate of death as required by the
preceding section or by section forty-five of chapter one hundred and four-
teen, shall, if the deceased, to the best of his knowledge and belief, served in the
army, navy or marine corps of the United States in any war in which it has been
engaged, insert in the certificate a recital to that effect, specifying the war, and
shall also certify in such certificate both the primary and the secondary or imme-
diate cause of death as nearly as he can state the same. For neglect to comply
with any provision of this section, such physician or officer, shall forfeit ten dollars.
For the purposes of this section and of sections forty-five, forty-six and forty-seven
of said chapter one hundred and fourteen, the word “war” shall include the China
relief expedition and the Philippine insurrection, which shall, for said purposes, be
deemed to have taken place between February fourteenth, eighteen hundred and
ninety-eight and July fourth, nineteen hundred and two, and the Mexican border

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 inter-
ment, by a satisfactory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as required by
law, or in lieu thereof a certificate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending
physician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early
enough for the purpose, or is insufficient, a physician who is a member of the board
of health, or employed by it or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall upon
application make the certificate required of the attending physician. If death is
caused by violence, the medical examiner shall make such certificate. If such a
permit for the removal of a human body, not previously interred, from one town
to another within the commonwealth cannot be obtained early enough for the
purpose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the possession of
the undertaker desiring to make such removal shall constitute a permit for such
removal; provided, that such body shall be returned to the town from which it was
removed within thirty-six hours after such removal, unless a permit in the usual
form for the removal of such body has been sooner obtained hereunder. If the
death certificate contains a recital, as required by section ten of chapter forty-six,
that the deceased served in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States
in any war in which it has been engaged, such recital shall appear upon the permit.
The board of health, or its agent, upon receipt of such statement and certificate,
shall forthwith countersign it and transmit it to the clerk of the town for registra-
tion. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician certifying
the cause of death shall thereafter furnish for registration any other necessary
information which can be obtained as to the deceased, or as to the manner or
cause of the death, which the clerk or registrar may require. — Chap. 1 14, Sec. 45,
G. L., (Tercentenary Edition).
Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies
of persons as are supposed to have died by violence, or by the action of
chemical, thermal or electrical agents or following abortion, or from diseases
resulting from injury or infection relating to occupation, or suddenly when not
disabled by recognizable disease, or whenany person is found dead. — General
Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6., as amended by Chap. 632, Sec. 4, Acts of 1945.
No undertaker or other persons shall bury a human body or the ashes thereof
which have been brought into the commonwealth until he has received a permit
so to do from the board of health or its agent appointed to issue such permits, or
if there is no such board, from the clerk of the town where the body is to be buried
or the funeral is to be held, or from a person appointed to have the care of the
