Scope and Content
The Cedar City recorder keeps a record of cemetery deeds, more recently called certificates of burial rights(Compiled Laws of Utah 15-10-632x5, 632x6, 1907). Cemetery deeds convey ownership of cemetery plots from the city mayor to individuals. Each deed includes the date of creation and recording, describes the cemetery plot involved, names the recipient and verifies that payment was made. In addition to cemetery deeds the Cedar City books contain other related documents including deeds or assignments transferring burial rights from the original purchaser to someone else, and affidavits and letters discussing the owner's wishes regarding the cemetery plot.
