§ 10-5. Interment for remuneration; transfer, assignment, conveyance by owner; disinterment.

The city commission shall from time to time, by resolution, fix the terms and conditions and method of transfer of plot and interment rights. An owner shall not allow interments made in his or her plot for remuneration, nor shall any transfer, assignment, or conveyance of any plot so owned, or of any interest therein, be valid without the owner thereof first having complied with the terms and conditions regarding transfer of plots that may from time to time be in effect. No transfer, assignment or conveyance of any plot or of any interest therein can be made after an actual interment in it, except with the consent of the city and the city cannot grant such consent until after the body first therein interred shall be lawfully removed therefrom. No disinterment shall be allowed except by the consent of the city, and further with the written consent or order of the owner of the plot in question. Any lawfully constituted authority may, however, with proper court order, disinter any body so buried in the cemetery for the purpose of investigating crime or for some other lawful purpose.
