Subd. 7. The cemetery where the body or remains were originally interred shall retain a copy of the disinterment-reinterment permit, the authorization to disinter, and, if applicable, the court order showing reasonable cause to disinter. Until the body or remains are reinterred the original permit and other documentation shall be in the possession of the person in physical or legal custody of the body or remains, or attached to the transportation container which holds the body or remains. At the time of reinterment, the permit and other documentation shall be filed according to the laws, rules, or regulations of the state or country where reinterment occurs. If the death occurred in Minnesota, the state registrar or a licensed mortician shall inform the person requesting the disinterment and reinterment of the right to request an amendment to the death record according to Minnesota Rules, chapter 4601. Subd. 10. In addition to any disciplinary action or measures taken by the commissioner pursuant to this chapter, any person violating this section may be guilty of a felony pursuant to section 307.08, subdivision 2. Subdivision 1. Except as provided in this section, no dead human body or human remains shall be disinterred and reinterred without the written authorization of the person or persons legally entitled to control the body or remains and a disinterment-reinterment permit properly issued by the commissioner or a licensed mortician. Permits shall contain the information required on the permit form as furnished by the commissioner. Subd. 6. All disinterred bodies or remains removed from a dedicated cemetery shall be transported in an appropriate container and manner.
