[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Grafton as Title 13, Ch. 13.20, of the 1979 Code; amended in its entirety
by Ord. No. 024, Series 2004. Subsequent amendments noted where applicable.]
The Village Board shall from time to time fix a schedule of
prices for all lots sold in municipal cemeteries and for all work
done for private parties by the Superintendent and his assistants,
including charges to be made for the use of any public vault. Fifty
percent of the funds so derived shall be credited to the perpetual
care trust fund and shall be considered a full payment by the purchaser
of the lot by the Village in perpetuity.
The sale of lots in municipal cemeteries shall be under the
control of the Cemetery Superintendent subject to the rules and regulations
and the general supervision of the Village Board. Any applicant shall
apply to the Cemetery Superintendent and select from those lots available
for sale the lot which he desires to buy. Upon full payment, the Cemetery
Superintendent shall issue a deed to the lot in the form prescribed
by the Village Attorney. The deed shall be signed by the Cemetery
Superintendent and Village President and acknowledged so as to entitle
it to be recorded. The purchaser may record this deed with the County
Register of Deeds.
The transfer in accordance with applicable Wisconsin Statutes
of lots previously sold may be registered, after payment of a transfer
fee of $20 with the Cemetery Superintendent, by presentation of the
original deed on the back of which is written "I hereby transfer to
(name of the owner) (portions of the lot)" and the endorsement of
the original lot owner or by presenting a court order evidencing transfer.
This would have to be acknowledged and witnessed if it is desired
to record the transfer with the Register of Deeds.
