(A) Before any grave may be opened, written permission of the lot owner and the next of kin shall be filed with the Cemetery Superintendent, a permit from the County Health Officer shall be secured and presented, and the required fees paid. This provision does not apply when disinterment is ordered by a duly authorized public authority.
(B) Removal of a body by the heirs so that the lot may be sold for profit to themselves, or removal contrary to the expressed or implied wish of the original lot owner is forbidden.
(C) A body may be removed from its original lot to a larger or better lot in the cemetery when there has been an exchange or purchase for that purpose.
(D) The city shall assume no liability for damage to any casket or burial case in making the disinterment and removal.
