No interment shall take place without a burial permit, nor until all laws, codes, rules, and regulations relative to burials have been complied with. The city shall not be liable for such burial permit or responsible for the accuracy of the data contained therein, or for the identity of the person to be interred or entombed. No grave shall be opened unless the grave space has been paid for, with the exception of indigent cases, or unless the funeral director assumes the responsibility of payment for such grave space. Funeral directors making arrangements for burials shall be responsible for all interment charges if not paid by the owner or his or her agent. If the deceased to be interred is not the owner or is not a member of the owner’s immediate family, written consent of the owner, owners, or authorized agent must be filed with the City Clerk before interment may be permitted.
