Full text
It shall be unlawful to embalm a dead human body, when any fact within the knowledge or brought to the attention of the embalmer is sufficient to arouse suspicion of crime in connection with the cause of death of the deceased, until permission of the coroner or where there is no coroner or in case of his absence or inability to act, a sheriff or county or district attorney has first been obtained. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not less than twenty-five dollars ($25) nor more than one hundred dollars ($100).
