| I am in South Dakota. Whom do I speak to in obtaining the information regarding moving my deceased infant son to another state from Oklahoma? and what do I need to do to make it happen? I have tried to find out but was unable to get any answer yet from else where. |

| Here are a couple of the codes that I have found concerning burials. From what I have read, you would need to contact the District Atty in the county the babyis buried in and get approval to move the body to SD. I believe you could do this through a funeral home. I found these at: [url]http://oklegal.onenet.net/statutes.basic.html[/url] by typing in burial in the search box §21-1153. §21-1153. The last section does not affect the right to carry the dead body of a human being through this state, or to remove from this state the body of a person dying within it, for the purpose of burying the same in another state or territory. §21-1161. A. No person shall intentionally remove the dead body of a human being or any part thereof from the initial site where such dead body is located for any purpose, unless such removal is authorized by a district attorney or his authorized representative or medical examiner or his authorized representative, or is not required to be investigated pursuant to the provisions of Section 938 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, said authorization by the district attorney or medical examiner shall not be required prior to the removal of said body. A district attorney having jurisdiction may refuse to prosecute a violation of this subsection if the district attorney determines that circumstances existed which would justify such removal or that such removal was not an act of malice or wantonness. B. No person shall remove any part of the dead body of a human being from any grave or other place where the same has been buried, or from any place where the same is deposited while awaiting burial, with intent to sell the same, or to dissect it without authority of law, or from malice or wantonness. C. No person shall willfully or with malicious intent violate or cause damage to the casket or burial vault holding the deceased human remains. D. Any person convicted of violating any of the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in the State Penitentiary not exceeding five (5) years, or in the county jail not exceeding one (1) year, or by a fine not exceeding Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), or by both such fine and imprisonment. |
