§ 23-21-15 — Removal of appurtenances to interment space

Whenever remains are removed by a relative or friend of a decedent, under the provisions
of this chapter, the person causing the removal is entitled to remove any vault, monument,
headstone, coping, or other improvement appurtenant to the interment space from which the
remains have been removed. The affidavit or written consent given under the provisions of this
chapter is sufficient authority for the cemetery authority to permit the removal of any such
appurtenance. If such appurtenances remain on the plot for more than ninety days after the
removal of the last human remains, they may be removed and disposed of by the cemetery
authority, and thereafter no person claiming any interest in the plot, or any such appurtenance,
may maintain in any court any action in relation to any such appurtenance.
