Pursuant to G.L. 1956, § 23-18-10, further burials in the Ancient Little Neck Cemetery shall be prohibited unless the person seeking burial in such cemetery holds or possesses a valid certificate for burial in such cemetery issued by the commission for the Ancient Little Neck Cemetery to such person seeking burial in such cemetery. If a person has been issued such a certificate for a certain lot or grave which is already occupied, the commission shall assign another unoccupied space or grave for which no valid certificate for burial has been issued. Before the date of burial, any person who hereafter desires burial in such cemetery shall present the certificate for burial to the commission or its chair at least 24 hours before the time for burial, and such certificate shall bear the signature of the chair of the commission for Ancient Little Neck Cemetery. Upon presentation of such certificate to the chair of the commission, the chair shall mark or attach thereon his approval and designate the specific location where the burial in the cemetery shall take place.
