Grant of right of burial
25 Grant of right of burial
A Board may grant to a person for a term of 25 years the right of burial in a specified area of a cemetery and the right to place a memorial on that area.
Where the holder for the time being of a grant of a right of burial applies to the Board for the renewal of the grant the Board shall renew the grant for a further term of 25 years.
A right of burial granted under this section shall be subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by local law or by‑law.
A right of burial granted under the Cemeteries Act 1897 or renewed under subsection (2) may, if the Board and the holder for the time being of the grant agree, be renewed from time to time for a further term not exceeding 25 years in the case of any one renewal.
