Every person who enters, remains in and travels within a township cemetery does so at his or her own risk. The township is not responsible for any injury, accident or other calamity that might occur to any person present in a township cemetery. Furthermore, the township is not responsible for any damage or vandalism to, theft of or deterioration of any burial monument, headstone, flower urn or other item placed at or near a cemetery plot, burial site or anywhere in a township cemetery. The purchaser or transferee of any cemetery plot or the equivalent (and all subsequent transferees, assigns, heirs or beneficiaries) hereby releases, waives, indemnifies and holds harmless the township for, from and against any injury, damages, causes of action claims, costs and expenses associated with, relating to and/or involving the cemetery plot involved. Such waiver, release and hold harmless provision shall apply not only to the township, but also as to the sexton and any township employee, officer, official or agent.
