The cemetery sexton, as well as other employees of the city of Grove, shall be responsible for maintenance of the cemeteries, and enforcing rules and regulations. Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter or fails to comply with any of the requirements hereof shall be guilty of an offense and upon conviction shall be punished by fines and costs as provided in section 1-108 of this code.
In addition, any person, firm or corporation found guilty of violations of any provisions of this chapter may be prohibited from use of all cemeteries owned by the city of Grove. In the case of prearrangements for a service, funeral or burial being made prior to any person, firm or corporation being found guilty of violations of this chapter and being prohibited from use of the cemeteries; the owner of the certificate of burial rights may provide proof of prearrangements and submit a written request for a onetime waiver of the prohibition. Only upon approval of the city manager shall the prohibition be waived. The onetime prohibition waiver does not give the violator the right to use the cemetery until the prohibition is removed by the city manager. (Ord. 675, 1-7-2014)
