(A) Only one central or family monument shall be allowed on a family lot. All monuments are restricted in size based upon the section. No monument shall exceed four feet in height and one and one-half feet in width (including the base). Any case intended to hold floral arrangements must be permanently incorporated in the marker or its foundation and must fit within the allowable space for the marker. Only monuments made by expert(s) whose primary occupation is in this profession will be allowed. Foot markers shall be laid flush with the ground and shall not exceed two feet in length and one foot in width, and shall be placed at the end of the grave farthest from the monument. No vases are allowed on the foot markers.
(B) All single grave sites in Sections “G” and “Z” are ten feet in length and five feet in width. This provides one and one-half feet in width (including the base) at the head of each grave for the main family marker and one-half foot at the opposite end of each grave for a foot marker, if desired. The monument shall be centrally located on the lot(s) to allow at least one foot from its edge to the lot line. This will provide three feet in length on single lots, or eight feet in length on double lots.
(C) In Section “Z,” the head marker shall be laid flush with the ground and the vases placed in this section are to be of the variety that can be inverted.
(D) No coping, fencing, hedging, ground mounds, borders or curb or any kind shall be allowed on any burial lot. Cemetery embellishments other than ground level floral arrangements are not allowed.
(Prior Code, § 5-25)
(E) The city reserves the right to regulate the size and quality of all monuments, foundations and other construction placed upon any grave or lot in the city cemetery. The cemetery management shall have the authority to enter upon any lot and to remove any objectionable thing, construction, monuments or any foot markers that may have been placed or erected contrary to this code at the violator’s expense.
