North Dakota Mortuary Cooler Regulations

A burial-transit permit may be issued for the bodies of those dead from causes other than those listed under subsection1 without embalming if they are refrigerated to a temperature of between thirty-eight and forty degrees Fahrenheit, provided they reach their destination within seventy-two hours from the time of death. If the body cannot reach its destination within the prescribed seventy-two hours with constant refrigeration, it must be embalmed.
