Which statement correctly describes resale of interment rights in relation to cemetery by-laws?

• A. Rights may be resold regardless of cemetery by-laws.
• B. Resale is prohibited after 20 years.
• C. By-laws determine resale only for ceremonial plots.
• D. Rights may be resold only if cemetery by-laws permit.

Answer: (D)

Resale of interment rights is governed by the cemetery’s own by-laws. These rules set who may buy a transfer, the process to follow, and any fees or eligibility requirements. Because the by-laws specify these conditions, you can only resell if the by-laws permit it. The cemetery typically requires a transfer application, confirmation the new owner meets eligibility, and payment of any transfer or administration fees. So, resale is allowed only when the cemetery by-laws authorize it. The other statements don’t fit because they either ignore the by-laws, impose an unprovided time limit, or incorrectly limit the scope to ceremonial plots.
