8570. After filing the map or plat and recording the declaration of dedication, a cemetery authority may sell and convey plots subject to such rules and regulations as may be then in effect or thereafter adopted by the cemetery authority, and subject to such other and further limitations, conditions and restrictions as may be inserted in or made a part of the declaration of dedication by reference, or included in the instrument of conveyance of such plot. 8571. (a) All plots, the use of which has been conveyed by deed or certificate of ownership as a separate plot, are indivisible except with the consent of the cemetery authority, or as provided by law. (b) A plot, the use of which has been conveyed by deed or certificate of ownership as a family plot, thereby becomes inalienable and shall be held as a family plot of the owner. 8572. All conveyances made by a cemetery authority shall be signed by the president or the vice president, and the secretary, or by other officers authorized by the cemetery authority. 8573. Any cemetery authority or its agents who sell, offer for sale, contract to sell, or negotiate the sale of mausoleum crypts before the receipt of a certificate of occupancy as provided for in Sections 9591 and 9592 shall: (a) Set forth in each contract a specific period of time within which the building or structure shall be completed. (b) Set forth in each contract that the purchaser has the right of exchange for similar interment property and, in the event completion is not accomplished as set forth in (a) above, except upon the proclamation of a national emergency, guarantee the refund of the purchase price. (c) Provide adequate financial provision for the construction cost of the mausoleum or the refund of the sales price to the purchaser until such time as a certificate of occupancy has been received. 8574. For a violation of any provision of Section 8573, the bureau may temporarily suspend or permanently revoke the license of any cemetery licensee and may order the reservation or escrowing of assets of the cemetery authority to the extent deemed necessary to satisfy the cost of construction of the structure or building.
