- Grave stones or markers shall be set in (or permanently bonded to) a level concrete foundation at least four inches deep. A companion marker needs 6" on each side.
- The cemetery staff shall arrange for necessary plowing or grading of the road immediately prior to a burial, and the cost of the plowing or grading shall be covered by the perpetual care fund.
- The cemetery staff shall arrange for the opening and closing of a grave and the cost of this service will be billed to the owner of the burial site.
- The cemetery staff will coordinate services with a funeral director, clergyman, etc. However, the cemetery staff is not in a position to arrange for special needs (e.g. purchase of a grave marker). A funeral director is best suited to handle these details.
