(A) The City Sexton shall keep a plat of all conveyances executed under the provisions of this chapter, stating the property conveyed, the date of such conveyance, the name of the person to whom conveyed, and the amount received for the same.
(B) Transfer of title of burial rights by the city shall hereafter be by certificate and shall comply with applicable Kentucky law. When a previously issued deed or certificate of burial rights is purchased by, or transferred to, a third party, or reverts to the city, the original shall be presented to the City Sexton, and before a new certificate of burial rights is issued covering said plot, the original deed or certificate shall be canceled and the records so changed. Transfer from a grantee on a deed or on a certificate of burial rights shall be recognized only upon presentation and authentication by the City Sexton. The City Sexton shall keep an index book of all burial spaces or lots to which deeds or burial rights have been issued and shall show any transfer from the original purchaser to any subsequent owner, and also shall index any probate or other judicial proceeding which affects the ownership of a lot or burial space. If a deed or certificate cannot be located by an individual or a family for presentation to the Sexton, the Sexton may, with the authorization of the city’s Mayor or City Clerk, make such arrangements for transfer and/or burial as are equitable and appropriate considering all the circumstances.
