When is a disinterment permit not permitted?

A disinterment permit is not permitted in the case where death was caused by a communicable disease. This is primarily due to public health concerns. If a person has died from a contagious disease, there are regulations in place to prevent the spread of that disease, which can include restrictions on disinterring remains. The goal of these regulations is to protect the health and safety of the public and avoid any potential transmission of harmful pathogens that could arise during the disinterment process.

The other circumstances do not generally carry the same level of public health risk. For instance, disagreements among family members, the operational status of a funeral home, or financial constraints do not present direct health threats, and thus, disinterment permits may still be pursued in those situations after addressing the relevant concerns.
