The sexton shall keep a record of all interments made in the premises under the sexton’s charge, stating the name of the deceased individual, the place of death, the date of burial, and the name and address of the funeral practitioner. Such record at all times must be open to public inspection.

In the absence of a sexton, the funeral director making the burial shall endorse and return the final disposition-transit permit to the subregistrar.
