Section 19 Right to erect headstoneI1

The person in whom a right of burial in a lair in a burial ground is vested may apply to the burial authority for the burial ground for the right to erect a headstone or other memorial on the lair.

A burial authority may refuse such an application if, in the opinion of the authority, it is reasonable to do so.

A right conferred by the granting of such an application is subject to, and must be exercised in accordance with, any regulations under this Part.

Subsection (5) applies where a right of burial in a lair is extinguished (including at the end of any period for which it is extended under section 14).

A right to erect a headstone or other memorial on the lair conferred by virtue of subsection (1) on the person in whom a right of burial is vested is extinguished on the extinguishment of the right of burial.

More than one application may be made under subsection (1) by the person in whom a right of burial is vested.
