Council adopts cemetery-code update, clarifying rights and adding 10 mph speed limit

Spencer Duchamp (speaker 19) presented proposed updates to the Draper City cemetery code to reflect current practice and the terms of the property conveyance from the Church. Duchamp said the rewrite replaces ambiguous language and uses industry-standard terms such as 'remains' rather than 'body' or 'cremains.' He said the code will explicitly clarify that plot rights are not property interests, delegate routine rule changes to a cemetery committee, and bar burials outside the cemetery consistent with state law. "We're adding a speed limit to the cemetery, 10 miles an hour," Duchamp said.
