registers and documents shall be open to inspection at any reasonable
hour by any Officer of Police, Medical Officer of Health, Inspector of
Health, or any other person appointed for that purpose by the Minister.

(4) When any crematorium is closed as provided in Regulation 2
hereof the trustees shall send all registers and documents relating to
the cremations which have taken place therein to the Minister, or
otherwise dispose of them as he may direct.

(5) In the application of this regulation to cremations taking place
elsewhere than in an approved crematorium or a cemetery the term

REGULATION 9.—CREMATION ELSEWHERE THAN IN A CREMATORIUM.

(1) If the application made pursuant to Regulation 4 hereof represents
that the deceased belonged to a religious denomination whose
tenets require the burning of the body to be carried out as a religious
rite otherwise than in a crematorium, the Medical Officer of Health
may give his authority for cremation at such place as he may appoint.

(2) Such authority shall be given in writing, and may be expressed
to be subject to such conditions as the Inspector of Health may consider necessary in the interests of health and decency with regard to
the time of the cremation, the circumstances attending cremation, and
the subsequent disposal of the ashes and other material connected
with the cremation, and such authority shall be in Form F in the
Schedule hereto.

(3) Where such authority is granted for cremation in a cemetery
such cremation shall be carried out in the particular place and under
the conditions appointed either generally or for any particular case by
the trustees of such cemetery.

(4) Every person signing any application for such cremation shall
be responsible for complying with the conditions set out in the authority granted by the Medical Officer of Health and imposed by the
trustees, and failure on the part of any such person to comply with
any such condition shall be an offence against these regulations.

REGULATION 10.—GENERAL.

(1) The sexton shall take all reasonable steps to satisfy himself
that the remains of any person presented to him for cremation are
those referred to in the authority in Form E delivered to him in
relation thereto, and for that purpose may require the unsealing of
any coffin or casket, and the delivery to him of a statutory declaration of identity, or other evidence.

(2) The trustees may make with the Medical Referee such arrangements for his remuneration as they may from time to time think fit.

(3) Any of the requirements of these regulations may be temporarily suspended or modified in any place during an epidemic or for
other sufficient reason by written permission of the Minister given on
the application of the trustees, and subject to such conditions as may
be set out in the said permission.
