Boonville Burial of paupers ordinance (§ 6-12)

(a) If any person desiring to bury any corpse in the city cemetery shall be unable to pay for grave space in the cemetery and the cost of digging and filling of the grave, and shall satisfy the mayor or city administrator that he is in fact unable to pay the same, the mayor or city administrator shall issue an order in writing, authorizing the burial of said corpse in the cemetery at a place to be designated by the city clerk, and directing the grave to be dug and filled at the expense of the city. The order of the mayor or city administrator shall be attested to by the city clerk, who shall note on his records the space assigned and used for such grave.

(b) Sunset Hill Cemetery is closed and therefore no space available for paupers. Block M of Boonville Memorial Gardens shall be reserved for pauper burials.
