Explanatory note

The principal regulations require notice to be given to a coroner by a person intending to remove a body out of England and require the coroner to endorse a cremation certificate to make it valid for cremation in Scotland or the Channel Islands. These regulations provide for a coroner to make a cremation certificate valid for cremation in Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man. They also provide that the notice shall state to which country it is intended to remove the body.
