Provides that except for transportation to a crematory, the transportation of a deceased human body to a cemetery or other place of final disposition shall be under the immediate, direct supervision of a licensee. Provides that transportation of a deceased human body to a crematory must be under the general supervision of a licensee, but the supervision need not be immediate or direct as long as the funeral director and embalmer provides direction and instruction in handling and precautionary procedures.
