(A) Lots shall be conveyed by deed, which shall secure to the purchaser, their families, and heirs, a burial place forever, subject to the rules and regulations as may from time to time be adopted by the city.
(B) A deed from the city and its record on the books of the city, kept by the Clerk, shall be the only evidence of title recognized by the city. All sales and transfers of lots shall be by deed, and shall be reported to the Clerk of the city, who shall enter the sale or transfer in the records of the city. A fee of $1 shall be charged for recording the sale or transfer.
(C) The city preserves the right to direct the arrangement of graves upon all lots sold, the location of monuments and markers and the size of the space which the monuments, markers and the bases thereof may occupy.
(D) Lots shall not be regarded as sold until fully paid for. If interments are permitted before lots shall be paid for, the city reserves the right of future burial in case of nonpayment, together with the right after demand and neglect to pay, at its discretion, to remove the remains to the single grave section or some suitable place on the grounds.
(E) The subdivision of lots shall not be allowed, and joint purchases of a lot shall not be recommended. However, when joint purchase occurs, the Board of Public Works will upon written application, if deemed expedient, allow a transfer duly executed by
either owner to the other.
(F) Owners of lots shall have the right to give permission by written order for the burial of the remains of other than their immediate family, but not for money or other profit.
(G) The title of all lots shall vest in the purchasers in fee simple, but for the purpose of interment only.
(H) Upon the death of the owner of any lot the heirs or devisees of the decedent should file in the office of the City Clerk, or file with the Sexton thereof, full proof of their heirship to be recorded on the books of the city. The rights of these persons shall be recognized only upon the filing of the proofs. (1979 Code, § 92.02) (Ord. 835, passed 10-2-1919) Penalty, see § 92.99
