4. The cost and charges of the burial of any person in such Cemetery, will be remitted, on proof being given to the satisfaction of the Managers that such person was a pauper at the time of his death, and that there are no funds applicable, and no person is liable for the payment of costs and charges.

5. Orders for interment must be given to the Sexton at least six working hours prior to the hour fixed for the funeral, otherwise an extra charge will be made in terms of Schedule A. No free interment will be allowed without the above notice of six hours.

17. No funeral will be allowed to take place in the Cemetery without a certificate from a Deputy Registrar of Deaths, or the Coroner holding the inquest or inquiry, or a Magistrate; and such certificate must be delivered to the Sexton at the Cemetery, before the funeral enters the gates.
