The owner of a grave in any improved portion of the cemetery will be allowed to remove the body from the grave and reinter it in any other grave in the cemetery which he or she may own and will be allowed the price paid for the relinquished grave, provided it is not more than the price of the grave selected for reinterment. The original certificate of title must be returned to the city for the relinquished grave. The owner of a lot may, with the approval of the Cemetery Sexton, allow the burial of a friend or any other person in the lot, but to allow the burial for any compensation is strictly forbidden. The price of all graves includes the perpetual care of the same and is payable in advance before interment is permitted. Subdivisions of graves or lots by owners is not allowed; however, the burial of cremains within the graves of immediate family members shall be permitted, provided that not more than 1 marker or headstone is installed per grave. Planting of trees or shrubs shall be prohibited in locations other than areas designated for such landscaping.
