The Council shall set all costs and fees by resolution. Fees must be paid or arrangements must be made with the Finance Officer, and a burial permit must be received, before the burial is done. The monies derived from the sale of spaces and grave opening shall be used solely for the purpose of maintaining the gravesites in the city cemetery. Costs and fees include, but shall not be limited to:
(A) The price of a single burial space in the Winner City Cemetery.
(B) The fee for a single burial grave opening on weekdays or on weekends and holidays.
(C) The fee for burial of cremation remains on weekdays or on weekends and holidays.
(D) The fee for a grave opening deeper than the standard opening which shall be allowed only in areas of the cemetery where soil conditions are conducive. Prior approval must be obtained from the Cemetery Supervisor or the Public Works Director.
(E) The fee for exhuming any remains.
(F) Any urn buried prior to January 1, 2015, will not be exhumed by the city. In the event that an urn buried prior to said date is to be exhumed, the requesting party shall contract with a licensed third party contractor to exhume the urn under the supervision of a designated city employee. Because an urn may be a vessel made of various types of materials, there is no guarantee that the urn or its contents will remain sealed or intact after burial.
(G) In the event that a casket is to be moved and placed in another burial space within the Winner Cemetery, the standard burial fee will be assessed, and fees shall be payable in advance of the process, which shall be done only during regular working hours of cemetery employees.
(H) No casket will be permitted to be buried on top of a space where cremated remains are currently buried. If a casket must be buried in a space where cremated remains are currently buried, exhuming procedures as set forth in divisions (E) and (F) above must be followed.
