The Davis Cemetery District offers a variety of ownership types.
Sole Ownership: Sole ownership means one individual, the interment rights holder, owns the interment rights. Upon the death of the interment rights holder, his/her estate retains ownership of the interment rights. Any future interments, transfers, etc., would require legal documentation to be filed with the District.
Joint Ownership: Joint ownership is when there are two or more individuals owning interment rights. Upon the death of an interment rights holder, the surviving interment rights holder, his/her estate retains ownership of the interment rights. Again, any further activity with these interment rights will require the filing of legal documentation with the District once the final interment holder has passed. Legal requirements and the Cemeteries Act require us to obtain written authorization from the interment rights holder(s) for permission and/or direction before any interment rights can be utilized.
Trust Ownership: Trust ownership is when a person purchases plots and places the plot within their trust. The executor of the trust holds the interment rights of the plots.
