In the absence of a specific devise or directions to the Board of Trustees specifying the person in whom control of a cemetery lot has been vested by the purchaser, the right of burial in any of the lots in the city-owned cemeteries shall go and descend to the lineal descendants of the original owner thereof. In case there shall be no lineal descendants of the original owner, his or her heirs at law, in the order of their deaths shall have the right of burial in the lot. The determination and decision as to any and all rights of burial and the order thereof by the Board of Trustees shall be final and conducive.
