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

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.

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

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

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

The  fulfillment  of  thV.b'feqf^se  thf3^b&  calls  for  the  observance  of  the  follow-

(1)  Attending  phyeici/it^vm  pert  IK’  to  such  deaths  only  as  those  of  persons 
to  whom  they  have  given'be45iae’c*ai^/during  a last  illness  from  disease  unrelated

(2)  Board  of  Health  physicians  will  certify  to  such  deaths  only  as  those  of 

u a «-*■  uz^Ldisease  unrelated  to  any  form  of 

at^fYiance  or  whose  physician  is  absent 
£ 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.

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.  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 
so  to  do  from  the  board  of  health  or  its  age n£  appointed  to  issue  such  permits,  or

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

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  tne  board  of  health  or  its  agent  aforesaid  or  from  the  clerk 
of  the  town  where  the  body  is  buned.  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).

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

No  undertaker  or  other  persons  shall  bury  a human  body  or  the  ashes  thereof 
which  have  been  brought  into  the  commonwealth  until  he  has  received  a permit 
so  to  daicoip  the  board  of  health  or  its  agent  appointed  to  issue  such  permits,  or

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  electrical  agents  or  following  abortion,  or  from  diseases 
resulting  from  injury  or  infection  relating  to  occupation,  or  suddenly  when  not 
disabled  by  recognizable  disease,  or  when  any  person  is  found  dead.  — General 
Laws,  Chap.  38,  Sec.  6 , as  amended  by  Chap.  632,  Sec.  4,  Acts  of  1945. 

No  undertaker  or  other  persons  shall  bury  a human  body  or  the  ashes  thereof 
which  have  been  brought  into  the  commonwealth  until  he  has  received  a permit 
so  to  do  from  the  board  of  health  or  its  agent  appointed  to  issue  such  permits,  or 
if  there  is  no  such  board,  from  the  <Merk  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).

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.  1 14,  Sec.  45,

It.  '\r/  ' ' PRACTICE 


The  fulfillment  dOfeppi-prise  of  these  laws  calls  for  the  observance  of  the  follow- 
ing rules  of  practice:- * ' ' ' 1 1 

( 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  iniurj.f  "-n  i n r 0 * H 

(2)  Board  o(JU<|4|lrtr  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. — 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.

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.  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  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  dr  its  agent  appointed  to  issue  such  permits,  or 
if  there  is  no  such  board',  from  the  <Merk  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.

RULES  OF  PRACTICE 

The  fulfillment  of  the  purpose  of  these  laws  calls  for  the  observance  of  the  follow- 
ing rules  of  practice: 

( 1 ) Attending  physicians  will  certify  to  such  deaths  only  as  those  of  persons 
to  whom  they  have  given  bedside  care  during  a last  illness  from  disease  unrelated 
to  any  form  of  injury.  - . 

(2)  Board  of  Health  physician*  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  wilbinvestigate  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  el^Qtripal  ag^te.an^jdeaths  following  abortion,  but 
also  deaths  from  disease  resillAjng  ffonh  ihjufcy'br  infection  related  to  occupation, 
the  sudden  deaths  of  persoiwnot  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.

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

. EfUJ^fiS:  OF  PRACTICE 

The  fulfillment  of  the  puTpo'se.of  these  laws  calls  for  the  observance  of  the  follow- 
ing rules  of  practice:  / ( . 

(1)  Attending  physicians  w!ill.  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  nhys^ck»ns*vvilj;  Eeftifv  "to  such  deaths  only  as  those  of 
persons  who,  though  disatjJ^lhiy  Jte^gWeflUdise^se  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. — Physicians:  see  explanatory  instructions 
on  face  side  of  standard  certificate  of  death. 


Statement  of  Occupation. — Precise  statement  of  occupation  is  very  import- 
ant, so  that  the  relative  healthfulness  of  various  pursuits  can  be  known.  Make 
some  entry  in  this  section  for  every  person  aged  10  years  or  over.  If  the  occupa- 
tion had  been  given  up  or  changed,  or  if  the  deceased  had  retired  from  business, 
report  the  kind  of  work  done  during  most  of  working  life  even  if  retired.  Children 
not  gainfully  employed  may  be  returned  as  at  school  or  at  home.  For  a woman 
whose  only  occupation  was  that  of  home  housework,  write  housework.  For  a 
person  engaged  in  domestic  service  for  wages,  however,  designate  the  occupation 
by  the  appropriate  terms,  as  housekeeper — private  family,  cook — hotel,  etc.  For 
a person  who  had  no  occupation  whatever  write  none.

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- 
te  n,  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  tho  physician  certifying 
the  cause  of  death  shall  thereafter  furnish  for  registration  any  other  necessary 
information  which  can  be  obtained  as  to  the  deceased,  or  as  to  the  manner  or 
cause  of  the  death,  which  the  clerk  or  registrar  may  require.— Chap.  114,  Sec.  45, 
G.  L.,  (Tercentenary  Edition). 


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

No  undertaker  or  other  persons  shall  bury  a human  body  or  the  ashes  thereof 
which  have  been  brought  into  the  commonwealth  until  he  has  received  a permit 
so  to  do  from  the  board  ofbqaltb  oiwts  agent  appointed  to  issue  such  permits,  or 
if  there  is  no  such  board .Trorn- the  cl^rk  ot  the  town  where  the  body  is  to  be  buried 
or  the  funeral  is  to  be  held,  or  from  a person  appmnted  to  have  the  care  of  the 
cemetery  or  burial  ground  in  whi^h  the  interment  is  made. 

. . . Chap.  114,  Sec.  46,  G.  Lt,  (Tercentenary  Edition). 


RULES  OF  PRACTICE 

:'i  • . 

The  fulfillment  of  the  purpose  of  these  laws  calls  for  the  observance  of  the  follow- 
ing rules  of  practice: 

(1)  Attending  physicians  will  certify  to  such  deaths  only  as  those  of  persons 
to  whom  they  have  given  bedside  care  during  a last  illness  from  disease  unrelated 
to  any  form  of  injury. 

(2)  Board  of  Health  physicians  will  certify  to  such  deaths  only  as  those  of 
persons  who.  though  disabled  by  recognised  disease  unrelated  to  any  form  of 
injury,  have  died  without  recent  medical  attendance  or  whose  physician  is  absent 
from  home  when  the  certificate  oT  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  agenris.  and  deaths  following  abortion,  but 
also  deaths  from  disease  rMpltinjj  from  *njuhy  oranfection  related  to  occupation, 
the  sudden  deaths  of  pessuTlS  <not-  disabled  by  recognized  disease,  and  those  of 
persons  found  dead. 


Statement  of  Cause  of  Death. — Physicians:  see  explanatory  instructions 
on  face  side  of  standard  certificate  of  death. 


Statement  of  Occupation. — Precise  statement  of  occupation  is  very  import- 
ant, so  that  the  relative  healthfulness  of  various  pursuits  can  be  known.  Make 
some  entry  in  this  section  for  every  person  aged  10  years  or  over.  If  the  occupa- 
tion had  been  given  up  or  changed,  or  if  the  deceased  had  retired  from  business, 
report  the  kind  of  work  done  during  most  of  working  life  even  if  retired.  Children 
not  gainfully  employed  may  be  returned  as  at  school  or  at  home.  For  a woman 
whose  only  occupation  was  that  of  home  housework,  write  housework.  For  a 
person  engaged  in  domestic  service  for  wages,  however,  designate  the  occupation 
by  the  appropriate  terms,  as  housekeeper — private  family,  cook — hotel,  etc.  For 
a person  who  had  no  occupation  whatever  write  none.

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  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.

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  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

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

. . . Chap.  114,  Sec.  46,  G.  L.,  (Tercentenary  Edition). 


RULES  OF  PRACTICE 

The  fulfillment  of  the  purpose  of  these  laws  calls  for  the  observance  of  the  follow- 
ing rules  of  practice: 

( 1 ) Attending  physicians  will  certify  to  such  deaths  only  as  those  of  persons 
to  whom  they  have  given  bedside  care  during  a last  illness  from  disease  unrelated 
to  any  form  of  injury. 

(2)  Board  of  Health  physicians  will  certify  to  such  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. — Physicians:  see  explanatory  instructions 
on  face  side  of  standard  certificate  of  death. 


Statement  of  Occupation. — Precise  statement  of  occupation  is  very  import- 
ant, so  that  the  relative  healthfulness  of  various  pursuits  can  be  known.  Make 
some  entry  in  this  section  for  every  person  aged  10  years  or  over.  If  the  occupa- 
tion had  been  given  up  or  changed,  or  if  the  deceased  had  retired  from  business, 
report  the  kind  of  work  done  during  most  of  working  life  even  if  retired.  Children 
not  gainfully  employed  may  be  returned  as  at  school  or  at  home.  For  a woman 
whose  only  occupation  was  that  of  home  housework,  write  housework.  For  a 
person  engaged  in  domestic  service  for  wages,  however,  designate  the  occupation 
by  the  appropriate  terms,  as  housekeeper — private  family,  cook — hotel,  etc.  For 
a person  who  had  no  occupation  whatever  write  none.

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.  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

(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  atte^ul^c^pf  .w^rqr^e  physician  is  absent

(3)  Medical  Examiners  will  investig^mr  anrf  ’ 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 
some  entry  in  this  section  for  every  person  aged  10  years  or  over.  If  the  occupa- 
tion had  been  given  up  or  changed,  or  if  the  deceased  had  retired  from  business, 
report  the  kind  of  work  done  during  most  of  working  life  even  if  retired.  Children 
not  gainfully  employed  may  be  returned  as  at  school  or  at  home.  For  a woman 
whose  only  occupation  was  that  of  home  housework,  write  housework.  For  a 
person  engaged  in  domestic  service  for  wages,  however,  designate  the  occupation 
by  the  appropriate  terms,  as  housekeeper — private  family,  cook — hotel,  etc.  For 
a person  who  had  no  occupation  whatever  write  none.

preceding  section  or  by  section  forty-five  of  chapter  one  hundred  ami  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  m 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  '"Me-

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

permit  for  the  removal  of  a human  body,  not  previously  interred,  from  one  town 
to  another  within  the  commonwealth  cannot  be  obtained  early  enough  ror  the 
purpose,  the  certificate  of  death  made  as  above  provided  and  m the  possession  ot 
the  undertaker  desiring  to  make  such  removal  shall  constitute  a permit  tor  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.  It  the 


death  certificate  contains  a recital,  as  required  by  section  ten  of  chapter  forty-six,

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

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

to  whom  they  have  given  bedside  cafe  during  a last  illness  from  disease  unrelated 
to  any  form  of  injury.  ■ • . ...  , . ..  , ...  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  ceftfficq^e  of  death  is  needed. 

(3)  Medical  ExariX&&^iB-lA^UTfefe(and  certify  to  all  deaths  supposably 
due  to  injury.  These  inclufte  bbtuioly  deaths  caused  directly  or  indirectly  by

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 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  perniits,  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  when  any  person  is  found  dead.  — General 
Laws,  Chap.  38,  Sec.  6.,  as  amended  by  Chap.  632,  Sec.  4,  Acts  of  1945. 

No  undertaker  or  other  persons  shall  bury  a human  body  or  the  ashes  thereof 
which  have  been  brought  into  the  commonwealth  until  he  has  received  a permit 
so  to  do  from  the  board  of  health  or  its  ageptr.appqin-ted  to  issue  such  permits,  or 
if  there  is  no  such  board,  from  the  clerk  of  the'towrTwh^re  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.

RULES  OF  PRACTICE 

The  fulfillment  of  the  purpose  of  these  laws  calls  for  the  observance  of  the  follow- 
ing rules  of  practice: 

( 1 ) Attending  physicians  will  certify  to  such  deaths  only  a<  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  i's  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  agepts.  and  deaths  following  abortion,  but 
also  deaths  from  disease  resulting  from  injury  or  ipfebtiotrYelated  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.
