(A) In administering the cemetery, the city shall be entitled to all rights and prerogatives granted to it in law or equity, including any rights set forth in the Kentucky Revised Statutes or any subsequent amendment thereof. The omission or failure to assert any right or prerogative by the city in any particular shall not constitute a waiver of the right.
(B) Upon payment of the purchase price for any lot or burial space, the certificate issued by the City Sexton in the name of the purchaser shall vest the burial rights in the purchaser. The nature and extent of rights acquired by purchase of a certificate of burial rights (and heretofore deed) shall be the right to use the burial space or lot for burial purposes only and subject to all rules, regulations, limitations and conditions imposed by the Union city code, other city ordinances, Kentucky state law, and by the Sexton as are necessary for efficient care of the cemetery.
(C) The city reserves the right of easement over and across any lot or burial space in the cemetery for repair of turf, installation or maintenance of water pipes or water lines for the improvement of the cemetery, and for the opening and closing of adjacent graves. The Sexton will be responsible to see that all the work is completed and the surface returned to proper condition after such installation or maintenance work.
(D) All lots and parts of lots in the cemetery shall be exempt from execution and from taxation.
