P.R. Laws tit. 24, § 1110
Gravediggers or cemetery keepers shall not inter, nor shall they permit the interment, cremation or other final disposition of any corpse, unless a burial permit or a removal-and-burial permit, as the case may be, is delivered to them. In each cemetery, the cemetery keeper shall keep a register of all interments made, setting forth in each case the name of the decedent, place of death, date of burial and name and address of the undertaker or person in charge of the burial, and said register shall be kept up to date and available [at] all times for inspection by the municipal or judicial authorities or by the officers of the Department of Health. Cemetery keepers shall set forth on the back of each burial permit or removal-and-burial permit the date on which the burial took place, and shall forward it, with their signature, to the registrar of the district where the cemetery is located, within the seven (7) days following the date of interment.
