§ 16.17. Interments in General.

All earth interments shall be in a liner or vault of concrete or steel of a type approved by the cemetery Supervisor. No more than the remains of one body shall be interred in any one space, vault or crypt, except in the case of a mother and stillborn child(ren). However, if written permission is given by the owner of a space or, if the owner is deceased, by the owner's heirs, permitting more than the remains of one person to occupy a space, vault or crypt, an exception will be made to permit no more than one regular interment and one cremain or two cremains in any one space, vault or crypt.

Installation of cremorial headstones may be permitted under the same number, size and material restrictions as set forth in Section 16.26; provided, however, that in cases where the use of a cremorial headstone causes the total number of allowable interments or inurnments in any one space to be exceeded, each additional inurnment shall be charged a fee as set forth by City Council for right of additional interment.

The number of allowable cremation interments in a cremation niche shall correspond with the type and size of the niche, (i.e., a single niche shall be restricted to the interment of one cremain; a double niche, two cremains).
