· Declaration of Reservation ·

1. The owner of a space may present his deed to the cemetery staff, designating persons entitled to be buried in the space or spaces owned. This practice is strongly encouraged by cemetery management, as the declaration may prevent future delays and confusion at the time of need for the space.
2. An owner may only provide designations for relatives by blood or marriage.
3. In the event the owner fails to designate burial rights for the space or spaces owned, the right of interment in the remaining space or spaces shall be in the following order:
   1. One space, niche, or crypt shall be forever reserved for the owner and one for the owner's spouse, if any;
   2. Right of burial of the remaining spaces shall be by or through in testate succession as provided for in the Florida statutes, or by specific bequests in the owner's Last Will and Testament.
4. The burial rights in all space conveyed shall be presumed to be the sole and separate property of the person or persons named as grantee in the deed.
5. An owner may amend his declaration of reservation at any time.
6. Whenever an interment of the remains of any person is made in a space, the space thereby becomes inalienable and shall be held as the space of the interred person, except as otherwise provided by the owner's declaration of reservation.
