The city shall provide general care for the cemetery and mausoleum which shall include maintenance of roadways, mowing grass, trimming and caring for trees and removing fallen trees. This shall not include providing special care such as watering lawns or vases temporarily placed on graves. The city shall have the right to remove trees, shrubs, plants or any structures now located upon any burial site, which has or shall become by reason of age or otherwise, unsightly or detrimental to the site upon which they are located or any adjacent site or avenue, and shall have the right to remove any such which may be placed on a site contrary to the provisions of these regulations. Artificial flowers may be placed in approved urns or vases and must be securely fastened to the urn or vase so that they will not fall or be blown from the container and cause problems with mowing. No artificial flowers, flags or decorations of similar nature shall be placed upon or attached to any grassed area, any tree or shrub, or any monument or marker; the flowers improperly placed may be removed by the city. Owners are responsible for filling sunken grave sites.
