  2. Title 21

Whenever a cemetery or other place of burial is lawfully

authorized to be removed from one place to another, the right and

duty to disinter, remove and rebury the remains of bodies there

lying buried devolves upon the same persons required to bury the

deceased in the order in which they there are named, and if they all

fail to act, then upon the lawful custodians of the place of burial

so removed. Every omission of such duty is punishable in the same

manner as other omissions to perform the duty of making burial.
