administration of the perpetual care fund associated therewith.
It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or offer for sale or to

trees or plantings shall be deemed necessary to open a grave site. However,
the Town Council may authorize the sale, cutting and disposition of any trees,
timber, or other growing products from the cemetery.
The Cemetery Committee of the Town Council shall have the power to establish
and promulgate rules and regulations not in conflict with the provisions of

and regulations shall be subject to the approval of the Town Council. It shall
be unlawful for any person to fail, neglect or refuse to comply with such
rules and regulations so established, promulgated and approved. Any person
convicted of a violation of this section shall be subject to a civil penalty
