The term "lot" as referred to in these regulations shall be
defined as either single or multiple grave sites, unless otherwise
specified.
The Board of Selectmen, acting as Cemetery Commissioners, periodically
sets the sale of cemetery grave sites and interment fees for the town's
three cemeteries.
No curbing, fencing, steps or any other type of structure, except
conventional memorials, may be placed on any lot.
Foundations for memorials projecting above grade must be of
the same length and width as the base of the memorial and shall have
a six-inch border four inches thick on top of the foundation, and
the foundation shall be at least five feet in depth from finish grade
whenever possible. The border must be flush with the existing grade
of the lot. In those areas where lots are not level, the Cemetery
Foreman will determine the finish grade of the foundation. The mixture
for foundations shall be a minimum of 5 to 1. The town reserves the
right to have a designated inspector at each foundation installation.
All contractors and outside workmen doing work of any type within
the cemeteries will be under the direct inspection of the Cemetery
Foreman. All work must be performed during regular working hours of
the Cemetery Department, unless prior permission has been received
from the Cemetery Foreman.
The term "perpetual care" shall be construed to mean the obligation
which the town assumes to each year expend the net annual income from
the perpetual care endowment set aside in furnishing such care for
the lot as mowing grass, raking and cleaning lot and adjacent walkways,
filling of sunken graves, and in the care and maintenance of roads,
walkways, fences, buildings and grounds in general. It is understood
that all expenditures of perpetual care moneys shall be made as part
of the annual operating budget for the Cemetery Department.
