Cremains need to be buried at least 12 inches (with a recommendation of 18 inches) down from the top of the cremation container which is impervious to the soil and animal intrusions. The cemetery caretaker shall first mark out the boundary lines of said burial before digging commences. Only the cemetery caretaker will dig the area for the cremains. The family can place the cremains in the area prepared. Either the family or the cemetery caretaker can cover the buried cremains with the soil that was removed. A lot preparation fee at an amount established by resolution by the government body of the city shall be charged when a grave is opened for a burial or disinterment.
