A disposition of human remains, otherwise known as a burial permit is required for all interments. If you elected to inter at the cemetery at the time your loved one was cremated, you should have been provided the burial permit. If you have been storing the cremains and have now decided to inter, you will need to obtain a burial permit from Yolo County. Below are the steps for obtaining a burial permit.
