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.
3. If cremated remains are to be shipped,
the urn must be packed in a sealed package. A method of shipment must be used
which has an internal tracing system and provides a receipt signed by the
person accepting delivery.
