2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 8 - Cemeteries|§802. Transfer of ownership rights

RS 802 - Transfer of ownership rights A. In order to insure that at all times the cemetery authority will have complete and accurate records, the sale or transfer of any right of interment or cemetery space, shall not be binding upon a cemetery authority until approved in writing by a duly authorized officer, agent or employee of the cemetery authority and duly recorded in the official records of the cemetery.  B. A cemetery authority may refuse to give its consent to a sale, use, or transfer of, or may refuse to issue a deed or other evidence of title to a cemetery space or the right of interment, so long as there is any indebtedness due on such right of interment or cemetery space.  C. The transfer of any right of interment or cemetery space, whether by conveyance, assignment of a purchase contract, or otherwise, shall be subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the rules and regulations of the cemetery authority, as amended from time to time.  D. All transfers of rights of interment or cemetery space shall be subject to the payment of such reasonable fees and charges as may be established from time to time on a uniform basis by the cemetery authority, and such fees and charges shall be paid before any transfer is approved by and recorded in the records of the cemetery authority.  E. Whenever a cemetery authority makes an interment on the authority of a person who presents the official title to the cemetery space in which the said interment is to be made, the right of the cemetery authority to make said interment shall be conclusively presumed, but it shall have the right to refuse to permit an interment if it receives a written protest from any person who, in the sole judgment of an officer of the cemetery authority, has a reasonable basis for objecting.  F. In dealing with an owner, a cemetery authority may rely upon, for all purposes, the last address of said owner that is on file in the office of the cemetery authority, and any notice forwarded to the owner of record at said address shall be conclusively considered as sufficient and proper legal notification for any and all purposes. If an owner wishes to change his official address, it shall be his duty to notify the cemetery authority, in writing, and when such a notice is received by the cemetery authority, the owner's address shall be promptly changed and, thereafter, said new address shall prevail for all purposes.

A person will be considered dead if in the announced opinion of a physician, duly licensed in the state of Louisiana based on ordinary standards of approved medical practice, the person has experienced an irreversible cessation of spontaneous respiratory and circulatory functions. In the event that artificial means of support preclude a determination that these functions have ceased, a person will be considered dead if in the announced opinion of a physician, duly licensed in the state of Louisiana based upon ordinary standards of approved medical practice, the person has experienced an irreversible total cessation of brain function. Death will have occurred at the time when the relevant functions ceased. In any case when organs are to be used in a transplant, then an additional physician, duly licensed in the state of Louisiana not a member of the transplant team, must make the pronouncement of death unless a hospital has adopted a written policy allowing that a single physician, duly licensed in the state of Louisiana, not a member of the transplant team, may make the pronouncement of death. In all cases in which a hospital written policy provides that a single physician makes the pronouncement of death, such policy shall also require an opinion by a second physician, not a member of the transplant team, as to the candidacy of the person for the process of organ donation.  B. The medical pronouncement of death by a coroner may also be based on personal observation, information, or statements obtained from coroner investigators, registered nurses, physician assistants, or emergency medical technicians at the scene who are reporting from firsthand observation of the physical condition of the deceased. The time of death shall be reported as the time that the death was reported or discovered. The name of the personnel that the coroner is relying on shall be noted on the coroner's investigative report.  Added by Acts 1976, No. 233, §1; Acts 2001, No. 317, §1; Acts 2010, No. 937, §1, eff.
