§ 8.04.185. Double deep burials.

A.

Double deep burials will only be permitted in lots that are completely unused (no existing burial in lot) and that are eligible for double deep burials. As determined by the cemetery sexton, some lots will not be available for double-deep burials due to soil compaction. No double deep burials will be permitted in the recently developed hillside section due to the high water table.

B.

Double deep burials must be approved in writing on a case by case basis by the cemetery sexton.

C.

Disinterments will not be allowed in double deep burials unless they are court-ordered.

D.

All babies and cremations will be buried in the twelve-inch strip to the north of the double deep grave.

E.

At the discretion of the cemetery sexton, a graveside service may not take place at the actual grave site where the deceased will be buried and may be held at a reasonable distance from the actual grave site if the sexton determines that the ground is unstable. Safety is paramount. If the sexton determines that graveside services need to be remote from the actual grave site, the sexton will do what is reasonably practical to notify the family and/or mortuary of the remote location for the graveside services.

F.

Under no circumstances any will personnel be permitted to work inside a double deep grave space.
