§ 23-21-21 — Endowment care fund for cemetery of reinterment

North Dakota § 23-21-21

• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 23: Health and Safety
• Ch. 23-21: Disinterment and Removal of Bodies in Cemeteries

Text

From the money remaining in the treasury of the cemetery corporation, limited liability
company, or association after completing the removal and reinterment of the remains from its
cemetery lands and the payment of all incidental expenses, the cemetery corporation, limited
liability company, or association shall set aside an adequate endowment care fund for the
maintenance and care of the cemetery in which the remains have been interred. After making
provisions for an endowment care fund to provide for maintenance and care, the governing
body of the cemetery corporation, limited liability company, or association may use such portion
of the funds then remaining as it may determine to be just and fair in reimbursing those who
voluntarily and at their own cost and expense removed the remains of friends or relatives from
the cemetery lands from which the remains were ordered removed. Such reimbursement may
not be greater in amount than the average cost to the cemetery corporation, limited liability
company, or association for removals directly made by it. Any balance remaining in the fund
may be used for such other purposes as the cemetery corporation, limited liability corporation,
or association may lawfully declare.
