In which instances is a licensed undertaker not needed for requesting disinterment permits?

A licensed undertaker is not typically needed for requesting disinterment permits when the body is in a family plot. This is because family plots are often managed by the family members themselves, and the regulations may allow them to handle matters related to the disinterment of remains without the necessity of involving a licensed professional.

In many jurisdictions, specific rules may grant families the authority to make decisions regarding their own burial areas, thus streamlining the process and reducing reliance on licensed undertakers for these specific and personal matters. This reflects the understanding that family plots are typically reserved for the familial lineage and can often be treated with a certain level of autonomy concerning disinterment.

The other contexts involve regulations that usually necessitate involvement from a licensed undertaker due to nuances in the law, safety considerations, or public health concerns that arise in more public or broader community settings.
