Sec. 21-8. Perpetual care of sections or spaces; fund.
There shall be established a fund to be known as "a fund for the
perpetual care of sections or spaces in the cemeteries, now or
hereafter owned or controlled by the City of Charlottesville."
Any owner or other party in interest may deposit with the
director of finance the sum of ten dollars per grave space to
provide for the perpetual care of the space.
Such sums so deposited shall be entered upon the records of the
city to the credit of the above-described fund in the name of the
party paying the same, and shall so stand to the credit of such
account as long as this arrangement may be in effect.
The city shall keep such grave space as shall have been
deposited for in good condition, that is to say, they shall be kept in
good sod and the grass shall be kept in shape, except that the city
shall not be held liable for the deterioration of the stones or
markers caused by erosion.
Should the city, at any time, discontinue the control and
supervision of the several cemeteries, then such fund shall be
transmitted to its successors or returned to the person or estate
paying such sums into the fund. (Code 1959, § 21-9.)
