(A) Upon proper application of the owner of a lot, payment of the required fee, and eight (8) working hours notice, the Sexton shall cause the grave to be opened. The Sexton shall superintend every interment and shall cause the grave to be filled up and neatly trimmed immediately after depositing the coffin and shall fill up and trim all graves that have settled or may hereafter settle. The city is not responsible for any error in opening graves when orders are given other than in writing.
(B) It shall be unlawful for any person to be buried in the cemetery without the casket being placed in a permanent-type vault, which vault type must be approved by the Sexton.
(C) Cemetery grounds are sacredly devoted to the interment or repose of the dead. In those circumstances where it is necessary to disinter or remove remains from the cemetery all applicable state laws must be complied with. The Sexton will schedule and direct the exhumation after applicable fees have been paid, and all required forms are received.
