Cal. Health & Safety Code § 8004 — Removal by Counties is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

Whenever the remains of any person shall be removed from any abandoned cemetery by the county owning such abandoned cemetery, such remains shall be transported and reinterred in a separate and suitable receptacle. After the removal and reinterment of human bodies disinterred from an abandoned cemetery, the county owning or controlling the abandoned cemetery lands shall cause to be erected upon or imbedded in any lot or plot wherein such body is reinterred a suitable permanent marker identifying the remains with as much particularity as is available to such county and shall prepare a complete record of the name of each person, where known, and the lot or plot where the body is reinterred and such record shall be kept in the office of the board of supervisors of the county making such removals and reinterments and shall at all times be open to the relatives and friends of those so reinterred.
