PURCHASE OF GRAVE LOTS <br /> <br />Persons wanting to purchase a grave lot in the cemetery are referred to Administrative <br />Services. The Administrative Services Department will have an inventory showing plots <br />with available grave lots, prices, and other information as may be required and will assist <br />those wanting to purchase the grave lot. All lots will be sold subject to these rules and <br />regulations, or any amendments hereafter. <br /> <br />The grave lot owner shall have the right to use a grave lot or portion of a grave lot for <br />burial purposes only in accordance with the terms of the cemetery rules and regulations. <br />Once full payment is received, a burial lot rights application will be issued and recorded <br />in the City records as evidence of ownership of the grave lot. <br /> <br />The grave lot owner shall have acquired the grave lot for their self and members of their <br />family. However, the grave lot owner may transfer burial rights by filling out a burial lot <br />transfer application from the City (which must be notarized and placed on file with the <br />City) for the burial of other persons. <br /> <br />All burial rights in cemetery grave lots purchased from the City occupy the same position <br />as real estate at the death of the owner. Only such persons whose names appear on the <br />cemetery records of the City will be recognized as owners or part owners of the grave <br />lots. In case of the death of a grave lot owner, when the cemetery grave lot is to be <br />transferred by a will, a transfer form must be filled out and returned to the city with a <br />certified copy of the will. If the deceased grave lot owner left no will, satisfactory proof <br />of descent must be provided. It is recommended that grave lot owners, in making their <br />wills, include a provision covehng all cemetery grave lots and new ownership to one <br />person. <br /> <br />All fees shall be payable to the City of Ramsey. <br /> <br />Under state law, the grave lot owner may not mortgage a grave lot. <br /> <br /> FEES AND CHARGES <br /> <br />All fees are set by the Ramsey City Council and may be adjusted annually. <br /> <br />Refer to the fee schedule adopted by the City Council on an annual basis for lot fees. <br /> <br />-224- <br /> <br /> <br />
