Any city may, by ordinance, create a
cemetery board of seven directors, to manage, operate, maintain and improve
cemeteries owned by the city. Such directors shall be appointed by the mayor
with the consent of the governing body, from the residents of the city at
large, but no person holding any official position under the city shall be
appointed a director while holding such office. The directors shall receive
no compensation for such services, except that the board of
directors may pay the secretary such a sum per annum as the governing body
of the city shall fix for keeping the records,
selling the lots, and other duties devolving upon the secretary in that
office.
