Every person who enters, remains in and travels within a township cemetery does so at their own risk. The township is not responsible for any injury, accident or other calamity that might occur to any person present in a township cemetery. Further, the township is not responsible for any damage or vandalism to, theft of or deterioration of any burial monument, headstone, flower urn or other items placed at or near a cemetery plot, burial site or anywhere in a township cemetery. The purchaser or transferee of any cemetery plot or the equivalent (and all subsequent transferees, assigns, heirs, or beneficiaries) hereby releases, waives, indemnifies and holds harmless the township for, from and against any injury, damages, causes of action, claims, costs and expenses associated with, relating to and/or involving the cemetery plot or similar right, any headstone monument or similar item(s), and any matter related to the cemetery involved. Such waiver release and hold harmless provisions shall apply not only to the township, but also to the Township Sexton and any township employee, officer, official or agent.
