(A) Lots are sold for no other purpose than for the burial of the human dead, and incidental uses that are suitable and proper for a cemetery lot, but under restrictions as contained in these rules.
(B) All interments in lots shall be restricted to members of the immediate family, or relatives to the proprietor thereof, unless permission to the contrary be obtained from the city.
(C) No sale, assignment or transfer of a lot shall be valid without the consent of the city, endorsed upon the transfer or assignment, and entered on record by the city.
(D) The city does not agree to give joint deeds to lots sold. No obligation exists, when persons hold lots in partnership by agreement among themselves as to lots to be used by each, but the city will not undertake to enforce the agreements.
(E) When more than one person claims an interest in a lot, no visible dividing line will be allowed.
(F) No lot owner shall have the right to have a body interred in his or her lot for a remuneration, sale or hire of space.
(G) Should there be an interment on a lot for which full payment has not been made as per the terms of contract, the city reserves the right to disinter the remains and remove the burial together with any monument or other structure thereon, to some other portion of the cemetery equal in price to the amount paid on the lot, after the actual cost of removal has been deducted.
(H) When a lot owner dies intestate, the heirs will be recognized according to the laws of the state which are in force at the time of the death.
(I) It shall be the duty of the heirs or devisees to file with the city full proof of the ownership upon the death of the owner of any lot.
(J) To prevent relatives from disposing of their family lot and disinterring the bodies therein, lot owners may reconvey lots to the city to be held in perpetual trust for their permanent interment and for other persons as the lot owner may designate.
