Every licence for the use of a place as a burial or place of cremation shall be in the form prescribed by rules made under this Act and shall be issued to the owner or person having control or charge of the burial or place of cremation in respect of which the same is granted, or if there be no registered owner or other person having the lawful control or charge of such burial or place of cremation then to such person or body of persons as the Minister shall think fit:

Provided that the issue of the licence to any person or persons shall not be taken to convey or establish any title to land or to corroborate, qualify or bar any right thereto.
