Commencing August 7, 1990, all deeds for cemetery lots shall contain a provision that burial must take place within 75 years of the deed. If no burial takes place within that time period, then the lot owner will be notified by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by legal public notice, or both, that the deed has been forfeited. After notice of such forfeiture, the deed may be resold. All individuals purchasing a deed for a cemetery lot in the city’s cemeteries shall sign a receipt indicating that they have been informed of this provision, and this provision shall be printed on all cemetery deeds.
