(a)

Name of deceased;

(b)

Date of death;

(c)

Place of death;

(d)

Name and relationship of authorizing agent; and

(e)

Name of authorizing agent or firm engaging crematory services.

(3)

If the Crematory Authority takes custody subsequent to the human remains being placed within a cremation container, the Crematory Authority must satisfy itself that identification has been made as described in section (2) of this rule, and thereafter must place a similar appropriate identification upon the exterior of the cremation container.
