A hospital, by written authorization of the parents, may dispose of a dead fetus of any period of gestation. A burial-transit permit must also be obtained from the state registrar for the disposition of a fetus if the fetus has reached gestation period of twenty completed weeks. The hospital must file the completed burial-transit permit with the county recorder in the registration district where the final disposition takes place.
