A centenary or perpetual plot may not be repossessed if the municipality or a public institution is obliged to maintain it in execution of a duly accepted donation or testamentary disposition.
If the cemetery site is moved, the plot holders are entitled to obtain a plot with identical characteristics in the new cemetery site.
When granted, spaces for the deposit or interment of urns in the cinerary site are subject to the provisions of articles R. 2223-11 to R. 2223-23. However, when the plot is taken over, the urn is placed in the communal ossuary or the ashes are scattered in the space provided for this purpose. .
Authorisation to remove an urn from a plot at a cemetery site is granted by the mayor under the conditions defined in Article R. 2213-40. In cinerary sites not subject to concessions, the deposit and removal of an urn from a plot are subject to prior declaration to the mayor of the municipality in which the cinerary site is located. .
Managers of cinerary sites ensure that no documents of a commercial nature are visible, with the exception of the prices of their services.
