(A) Resident cemetery burial spaces or lots shall be sold only to residents of Montrose Township, at the current resident rate, and non-resident burial spaces or lots may be sold to anyone at the current non-resident rate. If an individual is not satisfied with the decision of the Township Clerk, then that person may appeal to the Township Board.
(B) All sales shall be recorded on a form approved by the Township Board. The form grants only the right of burial and does not convey any other right to the lot or burial space sold. The Township Clerk’s office shall complete the form. The re-sale or transfer of burial lots is not allowed, except for estate settlements. Only the township has the right to re-purchase a burial lot. The price to be paid by the township to the purchaser for the burial lot is the same price that the purchaser paid to buy the burial lot.
(C) Burial rights may only be changed if the Township Clerk assigns a new burial permit to replace an original, endorses the new permit, and officially records the transaction. At this time, the Clerk’s office should issue the new permit to the assignee and cancel the original permit.
