(a) Cemetery lots. The owner or owners of cemetery lots shall not allow interments made in their lots for remuneration, nor shall any transfer, assignment, or conveyance of any lot so owned, or of any interest therein, be valid without the owner thereof first having secured the written consent of the City Manager or his or her designee to make such transfer, assignment, or conveyance, and such written consent must be endorsed upon such transfer, assignment, or conveyance. Provided, however, that no transfer, assignment or conveyance of any lot or of any interest therein can be made after an actual interment in it, except with the consent of the City Manager or his or her designee and the City Manager or his or her designee cannot grant such consent until after the body or bodies first therein interred shall be lawfully removed therefrom. The City Manager or his or her designee may adopt procedures, not inconsistent with this section, for processing and approving requests for transfers.
(b) Mausoleum crypts or niches.
(1) Prior to interment, an owner may transfer or resell the mausoleum crypt or niche provided the owner first obtains the written consent of the city board of governors and Boynton Beach Mausoleum, Inc. Such consent shall be given automatically provided that the new purchaser’s name, address and phone number are on file with the City Clerk and an administrative fee equal to the cost of relettering the mausoleum crypt or niche is paid to Boynton Beach Mausoleum, Inc.
(2) After interment, resale or transfer of ownership shall be allowed only to the city at a cost of 50% of the original purchase price paid for the crypt or niche and provided that disinterment has occurred and is implemented by the proper authorities. The city may not offer these crypts or niches for sale until the end of the contract term (October 20, 2008) with Boynton Beach Mausoleum, Inc.
