Upon a request in writing for an exemption from such requirement, signed by the survivor(s) by whom burial arrangements are being made, the requirement shall be waived by the Cemetery Supervisor:
(1) If the Supervisor shall find in writing the deceased held, or that such survivor(s) hold, a belief, based upon religious or philosophical grounds, that a body should not be interred within any container constructed of material (other than wood) which will impede disintegration of the body;
(2) If such survivor(s), prior to interment, shall pay into the Cemetery Fund of the city an additional fee in the amount of $750 to hold the city harmless from the expense of additional maintenance of the grave or adjacent areas which may become necessary because of absence of a burial vault; and
(3) If the body is interred in a container constructed of wood.
(B) Family columbarium (located on family-owned burial space) will include event costs for additional right of interment columbarium opening and closing after funeral space purchase.
