				hospital.

				source of bodies for transfer, final authorization for such transfer shall be

				body or bodies. Costs of the body and for transportation shall be borne by the
				institution or search organization receiving the transferred body.
(d) Disposal of transferred bodies. Unless
				other suitable arrangements have been made and approved by the
