§ 5207. Certificate furnished family; burial permit

The physician or person filling out the certificate of death, within thirty-six hours after death, shall deliver the same to the family of the deceased, if any, or the undertaker or person who has charge of the body. Such certificate shall be filed with the person issuing the certificate of permission for burial, entombment or removal obtained by the person who has charge of the body before such dead body shall be buried, entombed or removed from the town. When such certificate of death is so filed, such officer or person shall immediately issue a certificate of permission for burial, entombment or removal of the dead body under legal restrictions and safeguards.
