After the completion of notice, and after the expiration of the period of six months specified 
in the notice, any cemetery authority may cause the removal of all human remains interred in 
the cemetery or portion from which the remains have been ordered removed, and may reinter 
such remains in any other place in this state where interments are permitted, without further 
notice to any person claiming any interest in the cemetery, or portion affected, or in the remains 
interred therein. Whenever any remains are removed from any cemetery or portion of a 
cemetery pursuant to this chapter by a cemetery authority, such remains must be reinterred as 
near as possible to the cemetery from which such remains were taken. The remains of each 
person reinterred must be placed in a separate and suitable receptacle and decently and 

respectfully interred under rules and regulations adopted by the cemetery authority making the 
removal and the department of health and human services.
