· Memorials ·

  1. All markers in the cemetery shall be of granite, marble, or bronze and shall be installed by a licensed memorial representative.
  2. Only one stone or marker will be allowed for each grave space, and this shall be placed at the head of the grave. In the event a family monument is placed at the head of a lot, an individual marker may be placed at the foot of each grave for individual graves. Government markers may also be placed at the foot of the grave in addition to the headstone.
  3. Cemetery staff will provide reasonable assistance to licensed memorial representatives in locating grave spaces.
  4. All stones or markers in the cemetery are required to have a concrete foundation, which may be poured by licensed memorial representatives or cemetery staff. Markers installed in Blocks 11 and 12 do not require concrete foundations.
  5. Slabs are permitted on those lots where slabs have previously been laid; however, the City is not liable for any damages, which may occur to such slab in the regular maintenance of the cemetery. Coping is permitted so long as it is laid flush with the ground, as are corner markers.
  6. Fees for foundations are payable in advance at the Cemetery Office.
  7. No memorial of any kind will be permitted without the written authorization of the space owner, his legal representative or legal heirs.
  8. All markers installed in Blocks 11 and 12 shall be flush with the ground and shall be no larger than 2'6" by 1'1" by 4" (30" x 13"). Only one marker per space is allowed in these areas, and it shall be placed at the head of the grave.
  9. Should a monument dealer need to access areas off of hard-surfaced roads, that person must receive guidance from staff as to where the vehicle may be driven over the grounds. Payment for any damages that may occur in the course of a monument installation shall be the responsibility of the monument dealer.
  10. The City is in no way responsible for the preservation and care of any memorials installed in the cemetery.
