GENERAL REGULATIONS

¨ Funeral flowers will be removed from graves when they become unsightly.

¨ The right is reserved by the City to prevent the construction of, or to remove any structure, monument or other object which shall be considered unsightly or injurious to the immediate locality or prejudicial to the character or general appearance of the grounds, or which shall prevent the easy and proper care of graves or lots.

¨ The City reserves the right to remove at any time without notice, any tree, shrub or plant, in whole or in part whether growing on a lot or in the cemetery, when in its opinion, the same or its roots, branches or any other part thereof, is diseased, or is injurious or detrimental to any adjacent lot, road or walk, or renders access to any lot inconvenient or is otherwise objectionable.
