Section 750-P. Area requirements for pet cemeteries  


Latest version.
  • A pet cemetery which
      commences operations on or after the effective date of this article  and
      which  provides for the permanent interment of pets shall consist of not
      less than  five  contiguous  acres  of  real  property  in  total  area,
      inclusive  of  any structures, facilities, or buildings situated thereon
      and used for the business purposes of the pet cemetery. The secretary of
      state may grant a waiver of the minimum  size  limit  based  on  factors
      including  the number of above-ground entombments, the number of remains
      buried and the nature of the surrounding community. Nothing contained in
      this section shall restrict any town, village or city from enacting  any
      local  law  which  provides  for an area requirement greater than as set
      forth herein.
