No person other than the City Sexton shall inter the body of any deceased person within the cemteries owned by the City; provided, however, that if from any cause attendance of the City Sexton cannot be had, the Mayor or the City may, by warrant, authorize any person to perform the duties of the Sexton for the interment then required. Every such person shall conform in all respects to the provisions of this article.
