§ 16.10. Spaces; Sale to Permanent Residents; Exceptions.

The City shall only sell spaces in Greenwood Cemetery for prices fixed by the City Council to residents of the City of Orlando who have resided within the corporate limits of the City for a period of more than one year prior to the date of sale, and to persons who are not permanent residents of the City provided that such sales shall be only for the immediate burial of a permanent resident of the City who met the residency requirements hereunder at the time of the resident's death. The Sexton of the Greenwood Cemetery shall require satisfactory evidence of such prior residence within the City. In addition, the City may sell spaces in Blocks 12, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of Greenwood Cemetery to non-City, as well as City residents.

Provided, however, that a person who has not met the residency requirements set forth herein may be permitted to purchase spaces in Greenwood Cemetery at the price established by City Council for qualified non-residents if such person is related by blood or marriage to a deceased person buried in said cemetery, unless such deceased person is interred in a section of the cemetery reserved for members of the American Legion, Spanish-American War Veterans, Grand Army of the Republic, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, or United Confederate Veterans, and such deceased person, at the time of his or her death, did not meet City residency requirements.
