Markers and Monuments

All monuments must be approved by the Cemetery.

The Cemetery shall have the authority to reject any monument that, on account of its size, type, design, inscription, quality, color or method of construction is unsuitable for the particular lot or grave on which it is to be placed. The Cemetery reserves the right to prevent the placing or to remove any monument or other objects that do not comply with the standards of the Cemetery.

No marker or monument will be accepted by the Cemetery for installation unless a sketch has been furnished defining the dimensions, material content and lettering, copy of a deed or written notarized permission of the lot owner or proper agent of the person having burial rights to the grave. All monument foundations shall be placed by employees or agents of the Cemetery only. No items may be added to the monument after installation without furnishing the same above items required for initial approval. If any items are attached to a monument without prior permission the items will be removed. If in the event the item is attached with an adhesive that is unable to be removed without damage to the original monument the cemetery takes no liability for any damage that occurs or may make the decision to completely remove the original monument without notice. The individual responsible for the addition must at that time employ a monument company to remove the item before the original monument will be placed back on the plot.

All fees or encumbrances due on a lot must be paid in full prior to any monument being placed on the lot, including any installation fee.

In the event a monument is placed where it is necessary to remove it for an interment or disinterment, the Cemetery shall have the right to remove such memorial without notice to the lot owner. If the monument is of a size that the cemetery staff are unable to safely move, a monument company shall be employed to conduct the move at the expense of the deed holder.

The Cemetery may, at its own expense, without any liability, correct any error that may occur in the placing of a foundation or monument.

Monuments shall be set in accordance with the general plan of the Cemetery. Not more than two (2) monuments may be placed on a grave. One monument at the head and one flat monument at the foot position. Cremation plots only one monument is permitted at the head of the plot.

No Porcelain material may be incorporated into any monument. No protective glass or breakable material of any kind will be allowed on the monument.
