The burial rights sold by the city for lots shall not be further sold or transferred, except that they may be transferred to legal heirs or resold or returned to the city. The city may agree to purchase back burial lots at the original price, or current selling price, whichever is less. Upon death, an owner of burial rights (deed) shall transfer to legal heirs or someone determined by the lot owner’s last will and testament, or if the person dies in intestacy, by act force of law. A person cannot be buried in a lot they do not own unless signed documentation is presented to the city from the lot owner, or the lot owner’s heirs or legal representative, giving permission. Lot owners are required to notify the city of any change of their address or contact information.
