• (a) in the case of a certificate that has not been renewed, no burial takes place in the grave before the expiration of a period of 10 years from the date of issue of the certificate, or

• (b) in the case of a certificate that has been renewed in accordance with subsection 8(2), no burial takes place in the grave and a new application is not received before the expiration of the renewal period,

the certificate becomes void on the day following the expiration of the initial period of 10 years or the renewal period, as the case may be, and the interest in that grave of any person named in the certificate is thereby terminated without compensation.
