Relinquishment Policy as of July 4, 2016

The current policy regarding relinquishment of lots contains the following actions and reimbursement schedule.

  • A member contacts any Officer or Trustee to request relinquishment of their or, if an Executor of an estate, their family member' lot.
  • The Officer or Trustee contacts the Secretary/Treasurer to initiate the process.
  • The Secretary/Treasurer sends the member a letter repeating their request to relinquish the lot and clearly defining the section and the lot number (Format letter in Documents file).  The letter also contains a portion that describes the lot location, the amount to be reimbursed, and the check number of the reimbursement.  The relinquishment requires the members' signature.  The Secretary/Treasurer signs the letter for the Association.  A check for the appropriate relinquishment amount is included.
  • The original letter and a copy are sent to the member with an enclosed stamped, self-addressed envelope.  The letter requests the member to sign both enclosures, maintain one for their record and return the confirmed relinquishment to the Association in the enclosed envelope.  
  • Upon receipt of the signed relinquishment, the Secretary/Treasurer removes the members' name from the lot assignment, and from the mailing list if applicable, and places the lot on the available list.
  • The amount of reimbursement is currently based on the assignment fee schedule.  The assignment fee is reimbursed but the Loving Care portion is not:  10'x10' lot=$800, 5'x10' lot=$400, cremation lot =$200.
