For the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
FOUNDATIONS. All foundations for monuments shall be made of cement, sand, and rock, to a depth of not less than one-foot, with a five-inch projection beyond the base of the monument.
MARKERS. Markers to be used at the head or foot of graves shall not be larger than two feet-long, one-foot wide, and must not exceed grass level upon setting. All placing and construction of MARKERS shall be subject to approval in the same manner as above specified for monuments. So called DOUBLE SLANTING MARKERS shall be classified as monuments and shall be placed at the head of the grave. No single slanting markers shall be allowed, except in case of matching markers already in place on lots.
MONUMENT. Any stone exceeding two feet by one foot in size, and which is designed to extend more than eight-inches above the ground, shall be considered a monument for the purposes of this chapter. All MONUMENTS to be erected must first be approved by the chairperson of the committee as to size, location on lot, foundations, and kind of stone to be used; provided, however, that such right of approval may be delegated by such committee chairperson to the custodian if he or she wishes.
