12.38.040: PROCEDURE FOR CONVEYANCE OF CEMETERY PLOTS:
A separate certificate, in the form of a deed, shall be issued for each space sold in the cemetery. An application form, accompanied by the appropriate fee, shall be filled out prior to issuance of the deed, indicating the name of the party(ies) to whom the space is being sold and the name in which the deed to the space is to be issued. Right to use a space for interment shall not be granted until all appropriate fees have been paid and the necessary certificate obtained. Provided, however, in the case of a licensed mortuary's request for a space, the application may be filled out by the cemetery staff on behalf of the mortuary, listing the mortuary as requesting party, with the name of the deceased to be placed on the certificate as owner and the mortuary billed monthly for all such spaces requested the previous month. If such payments are not kept current, the City Clerk may refuse to issue further deeds and may prohibit interment until payment in full has been received. Certificate deeds shall be issued by the Office of the City Clerk in the name specified on the application. (Ord. 2645 § 6, 1999: Ord. 2412 § 2, 1992: Ord. 2165, 1985)
