No body shall be disinterred for removal to another cemetery, or removed from a permanent vault for movement to another location, without a permit issued by the recording magistrate of the recording district within which the body is located, in accordance with the instructions of the State Registrar. All other health and transportation requirements shall be fulfilled. The State Registrar shall determine what necessary records must be kept of such movement, both at the place of disinterment and with the recorded and original certificates of death or fetal death, and he shall designate the form or forms to be used. Such permit shall be authority also for reinterment or other final disposition of such body and for transportation thereof. In cases where such disinterment or removal from a vault is necessary for an official investigation, the usual court order shall serve in lieu of the permit required herein.
