What the Cemeteries and Crematoria Bylaw does
This bylaw enables council to make rules in a separate Cemeteries and Crematoria Code of Practice to manage activities at council cemeteries and crematoria.
The code of practice contains rules about:
- burial (internment)
- cremation and ashes
- removing a body or remains (disinterment, exhumation)
- built structures like monuments, adornments, vaults and mausoleums
- Wāhi Tapu Māori areas
- ground maintenance
- record-keeping.
