Section 8828 Of Chapter 7. Abandonment From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 8. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 7.
8828
. After the work which the governing body, in its discretion,
finds necessary and practicable has been completed, the governing
body shall immediately thereafter, by resolution, which shall contain
a legal description of the cemetery, dedicate such abandoned
cemetery as a pioneer memorial park and may cause to be erected a
suitable central memorial honoring those who have been interred in
the cemetery.
Upon recordation of the resolution with the county recorder of the
county in which the cemetery is located, fee title to the cemetery
shall vest in the city or county as the case may be. The governing
body may bring an action to quiet title to the cemetery, and in the
absence of fraud the resolution and the fact of recordation shall be
conclusive evidence of fee title to the cemetery.
Any county or city acquiring fee title to a cemetery under this
section shall only use the property for the purpose of establishing
and maintaining a pioneer memorial park.
