(a) Any vehicle that transports a dead human body or body parts from a funeral establishment in this state to a crematory, other than a vehicle that is owned or operated by a funeral establishment and has the name of the funeral establishment on the outside of the vehicle, shall display a copy of the crematory's current license in the vehicle in such a way as to be visible from the outside of the vehicle during the time the body or body parts are in the vehicle.
(b) This requirement is solely to provide notice to the funeral establishment that the dead human body or body parts are being released to the proper parties for the cremation of the body or body parts and no criminal penalty shall apply if the license is not so displayed.
