1. All property in a city cemetery, including lots, blocks, and grave sites, is the exclusive property of the city. A burial right granted by the city is merely a right to be buried on city property.

2. Burial rights in a city cemetery are granted to the person or persons named in the burial rights certificate.

3. No person, except the owner of the burial rights on a lot, shall be buried on that lot, unless a form provided by the city sexton has been signed by the owner giving permission for someone else to be buried on the lot.

4. Upon the death of the owner of the burial rights, the burial rights may be used for the burial of the owner. If not so used, the burial rights shall pass to the owner’s heirs or beneficiaries in accordance with applicable law, provided, however, the burial right to any one (1) lot shall not be divided in fractional interests except as otherwise permitted by the city for infant and urn burials.
