- DIVISION 3. PROFESSIONS AND VOCATIONS GENERALLY
- CHAPTER 19. CEMETERIES
- Article 5. Licenses and Certificates of Authority
The bureau may, in accordance with its rules and regulations,
authorize interments in cemeteries for which there is no currently
valid certificate of authority outstanding if the bureau finds that
rights to interment therein will otherwise be impaired. However,
nothing in this section authorizes sales of lots, vaults, or niches
by cemeteries for which there is no currently valid certificate of
authority. Interments permitted under this section shall be
conducted by persons authorized by the bureau in accordance with its
regulations, and Section 9768 shall not be applicable to such
interments.
The bureau or its representative shall be entitled to inspect and
copy any cemetery records necessary to the performance of interments
under this section, and any person having custody of those records
shall permit inspection and copying thereof for that purpose. The
bureau may apply to the superior court for the county in which the
cemetery is located for an order temporarily transferring custody of
cemetery records to it for purposes of this section.
