§ 45:27-17 — Copy of survey map, filing with board.

17. a. A copy of a survey or map of land to be used for cemetery purposes shall be filed with the board. The filing shall constitute dedication of the land for cemetery purposes. b. Before graves are sold, the part of the cemetery, including those graves, shall be surveyed and a map prepared showing the location of the graves with those roadways, paths and building areas as the cemetery company directs. A map of the land shall be kept at the office of the cemetery company. The map shall be made available for inspection by owners of interment spaces. c. A cemetery company may amend a map to include areas not previously laid out or to change the layout of plots not sold. Existing roadways and walks to graves already sold shall not be abandoned but may be altered as long as similar access to existing interment spaces is not denied. Paths may be renovated or reduced in size if the minimum width specified by regulation is maintained. The amended map shall be filed with the board. L.2003,c.261,s.17.
