      1.  When cremated remains are called for or delivered, the person receiving the remains and a representative of the operator of the crematory shall sign a receipt showing the name of the person whose remains are received and the date, time and place of receipt. The operator shall retain the receipt. Thereafter, the remains may be transported in any manner, with a permit if required by the local health authority.

      2.  If a temporary urn is used to deliver the cremated remains to the person authorized to claim them, that urn must be placed in a suitable outer box to increase its security and integrity. The temporary urn must be marked with the name of the person whose remains it contains and the name of the operator of the crematory.
