(A) Prices. The Town Council shall establish a schedule of prices for cemetery lots from time to time as it deem best. All lots shall be paid for in advance. A current price schedule shall be on file in the Town Clerk’s office.
(B) Descriptions and the like. The town shall have the right to correct any errors that may be made by it in the descriptions, transfer or conveyance of any interment property.
(C) Inscriptions. The names or inscriptions on monuments, vaults or markers must correspond with the names and records in the Town Clerk’s office and no changes may be made thereon except upon request of the proper parties and approval of the town.
(D) Transfer. No transfer or assignment by any lot owner of any lot or portion of a lot or interest therein shall be valid unless approved by the town and, in no case, can this be given as long as there is any indebtedness due on the lot.
(E) Supervision. The town retains control and supervision of all lots that are sold, with the purpose of preventing anything which is objectionable or injurious to a lot, adjoining lots or the cemeteries in general.
(F) Perpetual care. Perpetual care provided by the town shall be held to mean only the maintenance of roadways and walks, the cutting of grass upon the lots at reasonable intervals and the pruning of shrubs and trees planted by the town. If found economically necessary at any time, the town may limit perpetual care to that amount that can be done with the income received from the sale of cemetery lots and any investment of other funds.
(G) Monument foundations. Foundations for all monuments and all markers shall be constructed by approved dealers at the cost of the lot owner, from materials specified by the town, but monument foundations shall not be built until after full purchase price of the lot is paid. Monument foundations shall extend six inches outside the edges of the monument at all points and shall be flush with surrounding ground.
(H) Fencing, walks and the like. No coping, curbing, fencing, hedging, grave mounds, borders, shrubbery, trees or enclosures of any kind shall be allowed around any lot; and no walks of brick, cinders, tile, stone, marble, terra-cotta, sand, cement, gravel or wood shall be allowed on any lot.
(I) Flowers. Artificial flowers will be allowed for seasonal holidays or memorials. After they become faded or unattractive, they will be removed immediately by the caretakers. Cut flowers will be allowed for a period of seven days, after which they will be removed by the caretakers. No vases, clay pots or flower containers will be allowed to remain unused on any grave plot or lot. The vases, pots and containers shall be removed as necessary by the caretakers.
(J) Emblems, flags and the like. Metal emblems, markers, flags and guidons are allowed on lots or graves only immediately preceding and after Memorial Day.
(K) Removal of baskets, designs and the like after interment. Upon request of lot owner or his or her representative, frames, designs or baskets remaining upon a lot after an interment may be held for five days after interment and, if not called for in that time, may be disposed of by the town without any liability on its part whatever.
