§ 9-32. Monuments, flush markers or individual grave markers.

(a)

Plans, specifications and locations of monuments, flush markers or individual grave markers in the cemetery are subject to approval of the sexton.

(b)

For the protection of all lot owners, it is necessary that a person erecting, cleaning or repairing monuments, flush markers or individual grave markers obtain a permit at the city clerk's office and present the permit to the sexton and, in doing such work, comply with the reasonable directions of the cemetery sexton.

(c)

No more than one (1) monument that extends above the surface of the ground may be placed on a lot. There may be one (1) flush marker for each interment in a multiple burial space. Monuments shall be erected as near the center of the head end of the lot as practicable, but only one (1) monument to a lot, and under the control, direction and supervision of the cemetery sexton. Placement of monuments, flush markers, individual grave markers or foundations will not be allowed on Saturday, Sunday or holiday unless authorized by the cemetery sexton.

(d)

All monuments and flush markers shall be constructed of standard bronze, granite or marble, of nonartificial or nonperishable material, and cannot be of sandstone, limestone or soapstone bases.

Maximum dimensions for monuments, flush markers, or individual grave markers are shown on the attached drawings.

(e)

All foot markers installed shall be installed flush with the ground.
