§ 10-22. Sale of burial rights.

Burial rights in any lots or fractional part thereof shall be sold by the City to proper persons for cemetery purposes, as before set out, at prices ranging from $750.00 per grave lot (one-third or $250.00 to the City and two-thirds or $500.00 for maintenance fees to the Oxford Historical Foundation). There shall be a limit of one four-grave site parcel allowed to each family. This dictates that no single family will be allowed to purchase burial rights to more than four grave sites. Upon an appeal to the Mayor and City Council for additional grave sites, special exception to this regulation can be made when approved by vote of the majority of the Mayor and City Council.
