The city manager, under the direction and control of the governing body of the city, shall have the responsibility for the general supervision of the city cemetery. His or her duties shall include the following:
A. Direct and control all improvements, planting, placement of markers, monuments and all other work done within the cemetery of any kind, nature, or description. No such work shall be done without written permit issued as directed by city manager.
B. Direct and control all burials in the city cemetery. Before issuing a written permit to inter a body in the cemetery, require proof of right of burial certificate and the payment of all fees within the time frame determined by the city council in rules and regulations adopted by resolution.
C. Sell burial rights in any unsold lots in the city cemetery and issue any payment to the city treasurer. A certificate of burial right shall be in compliance with such rules, regulations and terms adopted by the city council pertaining to the sale, transfer, and usage of burial rights, as well as the size of grave and location in the cemetery. A right to burial certificate does not convey to or entitle the holder thereof any other privilege other than the right to bury the body of a deceased person, and is not a deed conveying title in fee simple or otherwise to the land or any part thereof. The city manager shall keep record of all certificates conveyed, burials and removals, plats and locations. The city manager shall submit all information required to Salt Lake County, as provided under Utah Code Annotated title 8, chapter 3, as amended.
D. Provide for the regulation of all funeral corteges while in the cemetery. (Ord. 728, 11-21-2006)
