graves.

When the bodily remains of an unknown person are discovered in

an unidentified and unmarked grave of a municipally owned and

operated cemetery, the remains may be removed to some other

gravesite within the cemetery, at the expense of the municipality,

if no record exists as to a sale or conveyance of the lot and the

municipality is without knowledge that a body had been buried in the

gravesite, in the event the lot is sold to another person. An

application for approval of the disinterment and removal of the

bodily remains shall be first filed with, and approval obtained

from, the State Health Department.
