This law provides that nil undertakers or persons acting as such shall file with the local registrar of his community a death certifi cate and thereby obtain a burial permit before the body is disposed of. Also all phvsicians, midwives or parents of the child must file a certificate of birth with the local registrar within 10 days of birth of each child.
