dead human bodies.

The law also makes provision for examination of applicants to
practice Embalming in such subjects as anatomy, sanitation, disinfec-
tion, embalming (theoretical and practical), and the laws relating to
contagious, infectious and communicable diseases.

The penalty for violation of the Funeral Directors' Law, relating to
registration and licensing, is a fine of not more than $100 or imprison-
ment for a term not exceeding one year, or both. The penalty for vio-
