Funeral directors must present the necessary burial or transit permit as required by state law together with appropriate identification of the person to be buried in the gravesite.

(b)

Charges and fees for service shall be recommended and approved by the township board.

Because of possible inclement weather, concern for safety of persons attending funerals, and other related considerations, there shall be no grave side services in conjunction with interments from November 1 through April 1, except from time to time as approved according to the discretion of the superintendent of cemeteries. In deciding to grant or deny the request, the superintendent of cemeteries may consider, among other factors, weather conditions, the safety of persons attending the funeral, and the schedule of pending services.
