Removal of remains by nominated undertaker
5
1
In the case of remains in relation to which paragraph 1(4) applies, the nominated undertaker may remove the remains and, if it does so, is to be treated for the purposes of this Act as acting under this paragraph and not under the licence under the Burial Act 1857.
2
The nominated undertaker must within two months of the removal of remains under sub-paragraph (1)—
a
bury them in a place (whether or not consecrated) which is set apart for the purposes of burial, or
b
cremate them in a crematorium.
3
But if the Secretary of State is satisfied that the remains were buried more than 100 years ago, the remains are to be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 4(2) instead of sub-paragraph (2).
