What conditions must be met for a body to be transported in an impervious container?

For transportation of a body in an impervious container, it is essential that the container complies with standards set by the commissioner of public health. These standards ensure that the container adequately prevents leakage and contamination, protects public health, and is suitable for safe transport. Such regulations typically account for the materials used, the design of the container, and any specific requirements related to the conditions under which the body is being transported, whether it’s inter-state or intra-state. This adherence to established health standards is paramount for maintaining public safety and hygiene during transport.

The other options do not align with the regulatory framework set by public health authorities and therefore are not conditions that must be met for using an impervious container for body transport. For instance, requirements about embalming, container materials, or specific types of coffins would fall outside of the broader health and safety regulations that must be satisfied.
