§ 26-27. Sale of lots.

(a)

All cemetery lots shall be sold subject to the rules and regulations in force or which may be adopted, and such lots shall be used for no other purpose than the burial of the human dead.

(b)

All conveyances, interments, disinterments, plats, avenues, walks and all cemetery improvements and arrangements shall be made subject to such regulations as shall be promulgated by the city commission.

(c)

The regulations provided for in subsection (b) of this section shall be referred to and made a part of every deed of conveyance of cemetery lots in the Winter Garden Cemetery after March 11, 1966.

(d)

Sale of all lots, part lots or grave spaces shall be a function of the city manager. The city manager may refuse to sell any lot, part lot or grave space to any person if such sale would be detrimental to the cemetery, or if such sale would violate the state law prohibiting speculation in cemetery property.

(e)

Each lot in the cemetery will, prior to its sale, be suitably marked by the city with an iron or concrete post placed on each lot corner and set level with the adjacent ground.

(f)

A person desiring to purchase a lot in the cemetery is referred to the cemetery supervisor. The cemetery supervisor will have available suitable plats showing the size and price of lots, and such other information as may be required and will be pleased to render assistance to those desiring to make lot purchases. Upon the prospective purchaser having made a lot selection, the supervisor will issue a lot order to the prospective purchaser, who may either make payment by check at the cemetery or present such order at the office of the city clerk in city hall, where the lot sale will be made and an easement will be issued by mail.

(g)

The city manager or the city clerk are authorized to execute use of easement certificates on behalf of the city to the purchasers of lots within the cemetery.
