  • (a)

    The superintendent of cemeteries and township employees working in the cemetery shall have the right to correct any errors involving interments, disinterments, or the description, transfer or conveyance of any grave or gravesite.

    (b)

    When an interment is to be made in the cemetery, the location of the interment shall be designated by the owner of the gravesite or by the heirs of the owner. The superintendent of cemeteries may reject any proposed location of interment if such location would not be consistent with the appearance of the surrounding graves or gravesites. The superintendent of cemeteries shall then have the right to designate an alternative location for the interment. No damage liability shall attach because of any error made by the superintendent of cemeteries in so designating the location of interment.

    (c)

    All interments, disinterments, removals and cremated interments shall be handled by township employees.
