You need to send a copy of proposed bylaws to the Minister at least 21 days before they are confirmed. The local authority must keep printed copies of its bylaws at its office and sell them to you at a reasonable price if you ask for them. They must also make a table of cemetery fees available for you to look at at their office, the sexton's office or residence, or at the cemetery itself.
