§ 35-8-405 — Removal of body from vault constituting menace to public health; reinterment; cost; construction contrary to W.S. 35-8-401 through 35-8-407 deemed nuisance; enjoining

When any mausoleum, vault, crypt or structure containing one (1)
or more deceased human bodies, shall, in the opinion of the
state department of health, become a menace to public health,
and the owner or owners shall fail to remedy or remove the same
to the satisfaction of the department, the judge of any district
court of the state of Wyoming may, upon application by the
county attorney of the county in which it is located, order the
person, firm, partnership, association, company or corporation
owning the structure to remove the deceased body or bodies for
interment in some suitable cemetery at the expense of the
person, firm, partnership, association, company or corporation
owning the mausoleum, vault or crypt. If no person, firm,
partnership, association, company or corporation can be found in
the county where the mausoleum, vault or crypt is located, the
removal and interment shall be at the expense of the cemetery,
city, town or county within which the mausoleum, vault or crypt
is located, or of the cemetery association in charge of any such
cemetery, provided, however, that if there is a perpetual care
and maintenance fund in existence for the care of the mausoleum,
vault, crypt or structure, the expense incident thereto may be
defrayed from the principal of the fund by order of the district
judge. Any columbarium or mausoleum maintained or constructed
contrary to the provisions of this act shall be deemed a public
nuisance, and may be enjoined in an action brought by any
taxpayer of this state in the district court.
