The general administration of the Evergreen Municipal Cemetery shall
be vested in the Town Board. The Town Clerk shall serve as Secretary-Treasurer
for the Town Board in matters of administration of the cemetery.
All receipts for cemetery purposes shall be paid to the Secretary-Treasurer
to be deposited into the general fund, except that receipts for perpetual
care shall be kept in a perpetual care trust fund. The Sexton shall not accept
any moneys for any purposes whatsoever, other than his salary or work in connection
with cemetery activities.
The increasing delinquency in payments of annual maintenance charges
for lots in the Evergreen Municipal Cemetery makes it imperative to set up
perpetual care on all lots now sold or which may be sold in the future, and
a perpetual care trust fund will be set up to accomplish this purpose.
When the Town Board sells the unoccupied portion of any lot that has
been delinquent in annual maintenance for five years or more, as provided
by statute, the sum received from the sale of the unoccupied portion shall
be turned into the perpetual care fund and perpetual care shall be set up
for all the occupied portions of such lot. These provisions shall apply to
the unoccupied portions sold under the provisions of this section.
There shall be no planting of flowers, shrubbery or other foundations
on any cemetery lot. If flowers or shrubbery are desired, they shall be placed
in a wire box or basket on a stand small enough so that they can be moved
to facilitate mowing of individual cemetery lots. Cemetery urns now present
may remain. If flowerpots are furnished in the monument foundation, no other
receptacle for flowers or shrubbery shall be allowed. No person or parties
shall be allowed to dig in the ground of any lot or graves without written
permission of the Town Board.
The Sexton shall at all times keep an accurate record of all burials
in the cemetery. This record, besides containing all pertinent information
relative to the person buried, shall contain a plat showing the exact location
on the lot on which the grave is located. The Sexton shall make a monthly
report to the Town Board of the number of interments, funerals or burials.
The facilities of the Evergreen Municipal Cemetery shall be generally
restricted to residents of the Towns of Woodruff, Minocqua and Arbor Vitae,
their immediate families and relatives, unless written burial permission is
obtained from the Town Board.
Any person who shall violate any provision of this chapter, upon conviction thereof, shall be subject to a penalty as provided in §
1-3 of this Code. Each violation and each day a violation continues shall constitute a separate offense.
