This law allows cities and counties to set aside up to five acres of public land to be used as cemeteries.

This law states that cemeteries that are owned and run by local governments like cities or counties can't sell monuments or markers. Also, the people who work there and manage the cemetery on a daily basis can't sell these monuments or markers privately.
