A. Sales Subject To Rules And Regulations: All lots shall be sold subject to these rules and regulations or those hereafter adopted, and the deed of title shall be stated. No lot shall be used for any purpose other than the burial of human remains and the placing of appropriate monuments and memorials. When an interment is to be made, a permit must be obtained from the city clerk and signed by one of the heirs. Burial lots are exempt from ordinary taxes and cannot be seized on execution. The city may impose specific charges against lots. No mortgage or other encumbrance shall be given on any lot. An interment, once properly made, shall not be disturbed, except on written consent of the original owners or their heirs, and then only with the permission of the city council or other duly appointed cemetery personnel.
B. Deed Of Title; Exception: When a lot is paid for in full, a deed of title, for cemetery purposes only, shall be issued to the purchaser by the city clerk. This subsection does not apply to indigent interment cases.
C. Recording Transfer Of Lots: The transfer of lots or parts of lots to another person shall be reported to the city clerk for recording. No person shall be recognized as owner or part owner unless so recorded. All transfers of parts of lots less than that conveyed from the city to the lot owners must be approved by the city clerk.
