§ 1721.03.
Land shall not be appropriated, nor shall a cemetery be located, by an association
incorporated for cemetery purposes or by a benevolent or religious society, within
one hundred yards of a dwelling house, unless the owner of such dwelling house gives
his consent, or unless the entire tract appropriated is a necessary addition to or
enlargement of a cemetery already in use. The limit shall not be less than one hundred yards when it is sought to appropriate
for cemetery purposes property adjoining a cemetery already in use, when such dwelling
house was erected subsequent to the laying out and establishing of such cemetery. When a cemetery lies within or adjoins a municipal corporation the association or
corporation owning such cemetery, without such consent, may appropriate property within
one hundred feet, or the width of a street or alley, of any dwelling house. The addition of any land across a street or public road is an enlargement of an existing
cemetery for the purposes of this section.
