A. The rules and regulations concerning the placement of monument and markers over a gravesite shall be as follows:
1. No marker or monument work shall be permitted on weekends or holidays without prior approval of the public works director. The public works director shall be notified at least four (4) days before a monument or marker is placed on a cemetery lot so as to allow sufficient time for the public works director to locate the subject gravesite or gravesites. The town shall assume no responsibility for any monument or marker being placed in the wrong location. Monument and marker firms, manufacturers, or installers shall be responsible for any damage done to other monuments, markers, grass, trees, walkways, or roads during the placement process. (Ord. 294, 7-9-2013)
2. Every grave, or lot, shall be marked with a permanent marker or monument. Temporary metal markers provided by a funeral home are allowed until a permanent monument or marker is obtained. Permanent markers or monuments shall be placed within one year of interment. All monuments and markers shall be set at the head of the cemetery lot with the inscription facing to the lot. All monuments and markers shall be constructed of marble, granite, or bronze. All monuments will be placed on concrete or bronze bases and no less than a five inch (5") concrete platform will surround the edge of the monument or marker. (Ord. 296, 12-10-2013)
3. Only one monument or marker will be allowed for each lot, even if more than one cremains exist in said lot. Bases included on flat, ground level monuments and markers shall be of the "flip down" inverted type construct so as to facilitate flush consistency with the monument or marker when inverted. No lot shall be marked or defined by any fence, coping, railing, hedge or embankment, nor shall any lot be filled above the established grade. The use of tile, bricks, gravel, crushed rock, shells, or similar material on or around the cemetery lots is prohibited. (Ord. 294, 7-9-2013)
