(a) Determination of lot, section, and grave for all burials is the responsibility of the funeral director of the deceased. The Village shall be given this information when notified of a burial.
(b) All Village of Lordstown Cemeteries are open from sunrise to sunset daily. No person(s) shall enter any Cemetery after sunset or before sunrise.

(d) Shrubbery and bushes are not permitted to be planted on Cemetery lots.
(e) No trees will be planted without permission from the Parks Superintendent and the Street Commissioner. The species of the tree will be determined by the Parks Superintendent and the Street Commissioner.

(g) Grave ornamentation which is holiday or seasonal in nature shall be removed in a timely manner after each holiday or season has passed.
(h) The Village Lordstown shall not be responsible for any Cemetery ornamentation which is lost, stolen, damaged or removed.
