(1) If an unexercised right of interment is cancelled under this Division, the previous holder of that right of interment may request that the cemetery trust—
(a) pay to the holder a refund based on the current cemetery trust fee payable for the same type of right of interment, less the relevant cemetery trust fee for administration; or
(b) grant a right of interment to an alternative place of interment in a public cemetery for which the cemetery trust is responsible instead of paying the refund.
(2) Subject to subsection (3), on receiving a request under this section, a cemetery trust must comply with the request.
(3) If a request is made under subsection (1)(b) and the cemetery trust is not responsible for another public cemetery, the Secretary may direct another cemetery trust to provide a new right of interment in a public cemetery for which that cemetery trust is responsible to the previous holder free of charge or at a reduced fee.
(4) A request under this section must be made in writing.
