Before commencing the building, construction or erection of a mausoleum, vault, crypt or other similar structure, full detailed plans and specifications of the structure shall be presented to the Division for its examination and approval. The approval of the plans and specifications of the structure shall be evidenced by a certificate in writing signed by the Chief Medical Officer.
