§ 10-61. Burial of paupers.

The city commission may designate a portion of a cemetery in the municipal cemetery system to the burial of the poor. Whenever it is made to appear to the parks and recreation director by proof submitted that a person who has died does not have an estate sufficient to pay the purchase price of a plot in the designated cemetery, and the nearest relative or representative of such deceased person desires to have the human remains of such deceased interred, the parks and recreation director shall grant a burial space for such deceased person, in the designated portion of a cemetery. All strangers without funds or paupers who may die in the city may be accorded the privileges herein granted. In the event the burial space of any deceased person granted this privilege is to be marked with an appropriate marker, either donated or purchased, prior to the marker's installation the city must receive the purchase price of the burial space at the time of interment.
