Section 4146. Deaths; burial permits; interments in certain cemeteries prohibited

1. Whenever the legislative authority  of  any  municipality
  shall  deem that further interments in any cemetery in such municipality
  would be detrimental to the public health, it may by  resolution  direct
  its  clerk to cause a notice to be served upon the person or corporation
  owning or controlling such cemetery, and to publish said notice  once  a
  week  for  three  successive weeks in two papers published in such city,
  stating a time and place not less than thirty  days  after  service  and
  first  publication  of  such  notice, at which any person interested may
  show cause to the legislative authority why further interments  in  such
  cemetery should not be prohibited.
    2.  At  the  time  and  place specified in such notice the legislative
  authority of such municipality shall hear all  persons  desiring  to  be
  heard,  and  if  upon such hearing it appears that further interments in
  such cemetery will be detrimental to public health, it may by resolution
  prohibit further interments therein.
    3. If such resolution is adopted a certified  copy  thereof  shall  be
  filed with the board of health of the municipality in which the cemetery
  is located, and thereafter permits for interments in such cemetery shall
  not  be  issued. The action of the legislative authority in passing such
  resolution may be reviewed  within  thirty  days  thereafter  under  and
  pursuant to article seventy-eight of the civil practice act.
    4.  A  burial  permit  issued  by  any  registrar  of vital statistics
  authorizing burial in such cemetery shall be deemed null and void and of
  no legal effect after a copy of the resolution has been filed  with  the
  board of health of the municipality.
