(C) The Sexton, or his or her deputy, shall oversee every interment in the cemetery and shall register the names and ages of all persons interred therein and the place of their interment. The Sexton, along with public works staff, shall open and close graves, maintain the cemetery, and perform such other duties as may be required elsewhere in this chapter, or as may, from time to time, be established by the governing body as administered under the authority of the Director of Parks and Recreation.
