[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Common Council of the
City of Gloucester City 2-19-1891. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It shall not be lawful to set aside, appropriate, occupy or
use any land or lands within the limits of Gloucester City for a cemetery
or place for burial of the dead without having first made application
in writing to the Mayor and Common Council of Gloucester City for
this purpose, which application, if approved by a majority vote thereof,
shall be marked "Approved" by the City Clerk and referred to the Board
of Health[1] of said city, and if concerted in by a majority vote of
said Board, such application shall be regarded as granted; and it
shall be the duty of the City Clerk, upon application to him, having
obtained knowledge of such concord, to issue a permit for this purpose.
Such application shall contain an accurate description of the
location of such cemetery or burial ground, by metes and bounds; the
name and residence of the owner or owners thereof; the extraordinary
purpose, if any, for its establishment; if incorporated, a certified
copy of the act of incorporation shall accompany it; whether the bodies
to be buried therein are those of residents of the State of New Jersey
or elsewhere, or both; and if for a religious denomination or society,
the name thereof.
The use and occupation of such cemetery or burial ground, when
approved of and established as aforesaid, shall be in all respects
subordinate to and in conformity with all the rules and regulations
of the Board of Health of Gloucester City and the laws of the state
in such case made and provided, as they now exist or may hereafter
be legally changed, and any violation of said rules and regulations
of said Board, or of said laws of the state, shall be punishable by
a fine of not more than $500 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding
90 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment in the discretion of
the Judge before whom conviction is had.
This ordinance shall take effect immediately.
