Diving into the Indiana Code
if you would like browse the Indiana code. I went ahead and photocopied the index of the Indiana Code Annotated for just the section "CEMETERIES AND DEAD BODIES". There are 8 full pages of index terms for this broad topic.
IC 6-1.1-6.8-8
Application for assessment as cemetery land
Sec. 8. (a) A person who wishes to have a parcel of land classified as cemetery land must file an application in duplicate with the director on the forms prescribed by the director. The application must include the following items:
IC 6-1.1-6.8-6
Surveys
Sec. 6. (a) A person who wishes to have a parcel of land classified as cemetery land must have it surveyed by a registered land surveyor. The surveyor shall make the survey by metes and bounds and locate the parcel with reference to some established corner. In addition, the surveyor shall identify the parcel by section, township, range, and county references. The surveyor shall prepare plats of the parcel in ink, and shall prepare the plats on the scale, and in the number, prescribed by the director.
(b) The registered land surveyor may use an aerial photograph in order to obtain a description of the parcel. However, the surveyor's description must be accurate and it must meet the requirements specified in subsection (a). If an aerial photograph is used, that fact shall be noted on the application referred to in section 8 of this chapter.
As added by P.L.177-2001, SEC.1.
