Any cemetery which maintains and designates a burial section for persons of a particular religious belief must remain available for grave openings and interments Sunday through Friday or other six-day period in accordance with the religious and/or ethnic traditions of the persons interred in said religious section. Nothing herein shall require a cemetery to provide grave openings and/or interments if they are otherwise unable to do so as a direct consequence of severe weather conditions or other similar conditions.
