§ 5370. Notice; headstones
When remains of the dead are removed, the selectmen, if necessary, shall cause suitable headstones or monuments to be erected to the memory of the deceased, or to designate the place of interment. Such remains shall not be so removed if there are known kindred of the deceased residing in the state, until after thirty days notice of the intention so to do. When kindred do not reside in the state, and known kindred reside without the state, then the remains shall not be so removed, until after sixty days' notice to one of such kindred. Such notice shall be given personally or by registered mail.
