Chapter 25-05-01 - Licensure of Crematoriums
Section 25-05-01-09.1 - Identification of body
All licensed crematories must develop, implement, and maintain an identification procedure whereby dead human bodies can be identified from the time the crematorium accepts delivery of the remains until the cremated remains are released to an authorized party. Before cremation, an identifying disk, tab, or other permanent label must be placed within the cremated remains container before the cremated remains are released from the crematory. Each identification disk, tab, or label must have a number that must be recorded on all paperwork regarding the decedent. This procedure must be designed to reasonably ensure that the proper body is cremated and that the cremated remains are returned to the appropriate party.
