(b) The identifying metal disc shall accompany the human remains through the cremation or chemical disposition process.

The disc shall then be placed inside the urn or, in the case of a temporary urn, on the outside of the temporary urn.

(d) The identifying metal disc shall be properly secured to a receptacle containing cremated or chemically processed remains.
