The funeral director or person in charge of final disposition of a dead body shall, prior to the interment of such dead body, affix on the ankle or wrist of the deceased or, if cremated, on the inside of the vessel containing the remains, a tag of durable, noncorroding material permanently marked with the name of the deceased, the date of death, the social security number of the deceased, and the county and state of death. If the religious faith of the deceased prohibits desecration of the body, alternative means of identification of the body may be used.
