Transporting the dead in New Jersey

E-mail Print PDF
I live in rural Northern California and we have a local Gold Rush era cemetery which the locals always take care of their own burials. It has been legal for quite some time in Califiornia to transport the dead and its very common to have a pickup truck deliver the body to be buried here in Fair Play. My father is about to die and we'll need to transport his body from the Jersey Shore up state two hours to a funeral home and want to do it ourselves. Does New Jersey law allow next of kin that privelege and what paperwork would be necessary?
