Montana Title 7. Local Government § 7-35-4102. Vesting of title to cemetery grounds--restrictions on use

(1) the bodies interred in the cemetery grounds may be removed and no additional bodies may be interred in the cemetery grounds upon the order of the board of county commissioners, city council, or other body having authority when it appears that the public health is endangered or for any other good cause. A new cemetery must be purchased and laid out by proper authority and the bodies removed from the old cemetery must be interred in the new cemetery. The old cemetery may be sold and the proceeds applied to the purchase of the new cemetery.

(2) when a portion of the cemetery grounds are determined to be unsuitable for the interment of bodies, the unsuitable grounds may be used for another public purpose upon the order of the board of county commissioners, city council, or other body having authority.
