8825
. A city or county having a nonendowment care cemetery within
its boundaries which threatens or endangers the health, safety,
comfort or welfare of the public may, by resolution of its governing
board, if not more than 10 human dead bodies have been interred
therein for a period of five years immediately preceding the date of
the resolution, declare the abandonment of the cemetery as a place of
future interment, but shall permit interment therein of any person
who is an owner of a plot in the cemetery on the date of adoption of
the resolution or who otherwise has a right of interment in the
cemetery which is vested on such date. The resolution may provide for
the removal of such copings, improvements, and embellishments which
the governing board finds to be a threat or danger to the health,
safety, comfort, or welfare of the public.
