shall be made out in the form marked A annexed to
these regulations, and shall only be made out in the

perpetuity in any particular plot of ground in the
said cemetery in which no interment shall have
taken place may, by permission of the Trustees,
transfer his or her interest in the said plot of ground
to any other person, upon payment being made to
the Trustees of a transfer fee of 5s. for every such
transfer, and on production to the Trustees of the

Trustees for such transfer on payment of a fee of
5s., on production of the original grant, and on their

authority to apply for the said transfer.

Loss or Destruction of Grants.
7. If at any time a grant of exclusive right of
burial should be lost or accidentally destroyed, a
duplicate grant may be obtained on application in
writing made to the Trustees, and on payment of a
fee of 5s. Persons applying for a duplicate grant

burial, or for transfer or duplicate of the same, must,
at their own cost, provide all necessary duty stamps.

Sexton appointed.

by the Trustees, whose duty it will be to dig all
graves required in the cemetery; and no other person
will be allowed to dig any grave therein without
express permission in writing from the Trustees.

10. All graves must be dug at least 6 feet deep;
but, in the event of any person requiring a greater
depth, an extra charge of 2s. will be made for every
additional foot.

Records and Books to be kept.
11. The Trustees shall keep or cause to be kept a
book, in which shall be entered from time to time the
number of every lot disposed of for the exclusive
right of burial, the name of the purchaser, and date
of disposal. They shall also keep a record of every
lot of ground used for the purpose of interment, the
name of the person interred, date of burial, and depth

and taking out a burial-warrant.

Burial-warrants to be issued.
14. In all cases of intended interment, the person
having management or control of the same shall

sums that may be paid for grants of exclusive right
of burial. They do not include payment for any
work required to be done beyond the actual digging
of an ordinary grave, and, after the interment, filling
in the same. Persons who have purchased the right
to fence in parcels of ground must do all levelling
required at their own cost, and only on approval of
the Trustees, and must at once remove from the
cemetery all earth and rubbish not required. If not
removed when required by the Trustees, they may
cause the said earth and rubbish to be removed at the
costs and charges of the party making default in
removing the same.

Burial-warrants to be given to Sexton.
16. The burial-warrant, when signed, shall be given
by the party having the management of the funeral
to the sexton, and shall be sufficient authority for
the interment.

Burial-warrants must be given to the sexton at
least eight working hours prior to the time fixed for
the funeral, otherwise an extra fee of 5s. must be
paid. No free interment will be allowed without the
above notice of eight hours.

Time of Funerals.

in the cemetery may in certain cases be remitted, on
proof being given, to the satisfaction of the Trustees,
that there are no funds available for payment of such
fees, and that no person is to be held who is liable
for the payment of the same. The Trustees reserve
