A cemetery has been established and is continued upon land owned by the city, and described as Forest Hill Cemetery. The plat of the cemetery filed with the county recorder in St. Louis County, Minnesota, is adopted as the official plat of the cemetery. No person shall lay out or establish any cemetery, or use any lot of land within this city for the burial of dead except in Forest Hill Cemetery, or some other tract of land duly designated as a cemetery.
(Ord. 68, passed 6-3-2014)
The prices of cemetery lots and services will be set by resolution of the City Council. Any person paying for a lot is entitled to a license agreement conveying the lot. A license agreement conveying a lot gives the purchaser only the right of burial therein and shall be considered as a license that restricts the use to burial purposes. Sale of lots between individuals is prohibited.
