(1) Upon receiving any such notice the coroner shall forthwith send or deliver—
(a) to the person who gave the notice, or the undertaker or other person designated by that person for the purpose, an acknowledgment of the receipt of the notice in the form set forth in the second schedule to these regulations or in a form substantially to the like effect, and
(b) to the registrar for the sub-district in which the death occurred, or in which the dead body was found, a notification that a notice of intention to remove the body out of England has been received, and, if a certificate given by that registrar under section 24 of the Births and Deaths Registration Act, 1953, was sent to the coroner under regulation 4 of these regulations, the certificate so sent.
(2) Any coroner's order for burial or certificate for cremation sent to the coroner under regulation 4 of these regulations shall be retained by him unless he is notified in writing by the person wishing to remove the body out of England that it is intended that the body shall be cremated in Scotland or the Channel Islands, in which case the coroner shall endorse the certificate with words to the effect that it shall henceforth be valid only for cremation in Scotland or the Channel Islands, as the case may be, and return it to the person receiving the acknowledgment of the receipt of notice under sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph (1) of this regulation.
