California Health and Safety Code Section 8740

CA Health & Safety Code § 8740 (2017)  

A cemetery which otherwise complies with Section 8738 may be designated an endowment care cemetery even though it contains a small section which may be sold without endowment care, if the section is separately set off from the remainder of the cemetery and if signs are kept prominently placed around the section designating the same as a “nonendowment care section” in legible black lettering at least four inches high. There shall be printed at the head of all contracts, agreements, statements, receipts and certificates of ownership or deeds referring to plots in the section the phrase “nonendowment care” in lettering of a size and style to be approved by the Cemetery and Funeral Bureau.

No new “nonendowment care” sections shall be established, nor an existing one enlarged in an endowment care cemetery.
