§ 103100 Cemetery Interment Permit Rules

This law says that if a cemetery is on the border of two districts, you only need one burial permit and it can be used for any part of the cemetery.

Key Takeaways

  • •Only one permit is needed even if the cemetery crosses district lines.
  • •The permit works for burial in any part of the cemetery, no matter which district gave it.
  • •After the burial, the permit must be returned to the district where the burial happened and filed at no charge.

Example

A family wants to bury a loved one in a cemetery that sits partly in District A and partly in District B.

They get one permit from District A, but they can bury the person in the part of the cemetery that is in District B. After the burial, they give the permit back to District B, and the local registrar files it for free.

§ 103100 Cemetery Interment Permit Rules

If any cemetery is located partly in one registration district and partly in another, only one permit shall be required for interment and a permit authorizing interment in the cemetery shall entitle interment to be made within or without the district to which the permit is directed. The permit shall be returned to the registration district in which the interment is made irrespective of the district to which it is directed. The local registrar of the district in which the interment is made shall forthwith file the permit on presentation without charge. (Added by Stats. 1995, Ch. 415, Sec. 4. Effective January 1, 1996.)
