BACKGROUND (Why is this Action Necessary, and What Action will be accomplished)
body
Background:
Per our Indian Spring Cemetery Operation Procedures, Rules, and Regulations (I)(C.4), “resale is permitted back to the county by the approval of the Board, at the original purchase price of the lot or lot section.”
Ms. Griffin is the Power of Attorney for the deceased, Emmanuel Augustin. Ms. Griffin purchased a cemetery space for him using her own money, not knowing one of Mr. Augustin’s family members previously purchased spaces at a different cemetery and that they planned to inter Mr. Augustin there. Ms. Griffin has requested a refund for this space since it is no longer needed.
