Pre-planning Information
Should the Interment Rights Holder wish to transfer unused graves or assign others to use the same space for cremated remains, the original Certificate of Interment Rights must be returned and a new one will be issued. This is done at the Lakefield Cemetery Office and a small fee will be charged.
Difficulties most often arise when the Interment Rights are registered in the name of someone who has been dead for a considerable period of time and has left descendants in a number of generations. This often occurs in "family plots" where an ancestor purchased a block of graves for the use of the family.
All parties that have equal interest to the remaining graves need to authorize any future interments. The "Permission for Interment" Form that allows all parties to sign authorizing an interment is included as part of the Pre-Planning Information on this website.
