What is the difference between the various types of ownership?
Sole ownership means one individual, the interment rights holder, owns the interment rights. Upon the death of the interment rights holder, their estate retains ownership of the interment rights. Any future interments, transfers, etc, would require legal documentation to be filed at the Cemetery District. Joint tenants are two or more individuals owning interment rights. Again, any further activity with these interment rights will require the filing of legal documentation with the Cemetery District. Legal requirements and the Cemeteries Act require us to obtain written authorization from the interment rights holder(s) for permission and direction before any interment rights can be utilized.
