(A) Intent. The town intends to make cemetery lots and columbarium niches available to all persons on an equal basis. In order to accomplish this, restrictions must be placed on the re-sale of burial easements to discourage the purchasing of burial easements with the primary intent of reselling them for a profit.
(B) Number of lots. No person shall be allowed to purchase from the town more than six burial easements.
(C) Owners of burial easements in the cemetery are granted an easement for burial purposes. This easement is subject to the rules and regulations of the town and the conditions on the grant of easement.
(D) Sale by town. Upon payment by the purchaser of the full purchase price and registration fee, the Town Clerk or designee shall cause the easement deed to be executed by the Mayor, registered in the office of the county register of deeds, provide a copy to the purchaser, and maintain the record copy.
(E) Reconveyance by purchaser. In order to properly manage the new sections of the cemetery, the town must know, at all times, the identity of the legal owner of each burial easement. The public records of the county registry shall be used for that purpose. If the legal owner of a burial easement wishes to sell the easement after conveyance from the town, both the owner and the purchaser must work with the Town Clerk to register the conveying instrument in the office of the county register of deeds.
(F) The town will repurchase empty burial plots or columbarium niches at the price paid to the town plus 10% provided that the seller can convey marketable title to the plot.
