shall enforce within its respective city limits or unincorporated areas any regulations pertaining to the construction of mausoleums, vaults, crypts or other similar structures, as adopted by the State Board of Health under subsection 1, and shall exercise such enforcement, including supervisory control, instead of the Division and any district board of health.
3. Before commencing the building, construction or erection of a mausoleum, vault, crypt or other similar structure, full detailed plans and specifications of the structure shall be presented to the Division for its examination and approval. The approval of the plans and specifications of the structure shall be evidenced by a certificate in writing signed by the Chief Medical Officer.
