[1982 Code]
Persons desiring to purchase lots should visit the cemetery
where the management will aid them in making a selection and will
issue a description of the lot purchased. Payment should be made at
the office of the City Clerk in the City Hall. An interim receipt
will be issued, as well as a certificate of purchase, which will be
given or mailed to the owner after it has been processed and recorded
in the County Clerk's office of records.
[Ord. 578, 1-2-1979]
A prospective purchaser may select from the available lots the
spaces he desires, and request they be held for 30 days. No downpayment
will be accepted. By the end of 30 days, the selected spaces must
be paid for in full. If not paid for at the end of 30 days, these
particular spaces will be available to other available purchasers.
No partial payment system will be authorized. In the event a burial
is to be made on a lot so purchased, the full purchase price must
be paid for that particular grave space before it can be used.
[Ord. 578, 1-2-1979]
Lots of various sizes are available in the cemetery and, hence,
such lots will not be subdivided.
[Ord. 578, 1-2-1979]
No lot shall be used for any other purpose than for the burial
of the human dead.
[Ord. 578, 1-2-1979]
No easement or right of interment is granted to any plot owner
in any road, drive, alley or walk within the cemetery; but such road,
drive, alley or walk may be used as a means of access to the cemetery
as long as the management devotes it to that purpose.
[Ord. 578, 1-2-1979]
The right to enlarge, reduce, replat, or change the boundaries
or grading of the cemetery, or a section or sections thereof, from
time to time, including the right to modify or change the location
or remove or regrade roads, drives, or walks, or any part thereof,
is hereby reserved to the City. The cemetery management reserves to
itself, and those lawfully entitled thereto, a perpetual right to
ingress and egress over plots for the purpose of passing to and from
other plots.
[Ord. 578, 1-2-1979]
Description of lots will be in accordance with the cemetery
plots which are kept on file in the cemetery office and the office
of the City Clerk.
[Ord. 578, 1-2-1979]
The instrument of conveyance of these rules and regulations,
and any amendments thereto, constitute the sole agreements between
the cemetery management and the plot owner. The statement of any employee
or agent, unless confirmed in writing by the management shall in no
way bind the cemetery management.
[Ord. 578, 1-2-1979]
The general care assumed by the cemetery management includes
the cutting and sprinkling of the grass at reasonable intervals, the
raking and cleaning of the grounds, and the pruning of shrubs and
trees that may be placed by the management.
[Ord. 578, 1-2-1979]
A. The general care assumed by the cemetery management shall in no case
mean the following:
1. Maintenance, repair or replacement of any memorial, tomb, or mausoleum
placed or erected upon the lots;
2. Any special or unusual work in the cemetery, including work caused
by the impoverishment of the soil; or
3. Reconstruction of any marble or granite work on any section or plot,
or any portion thereof in the cemetery caused by the elements, an
act of God, common enemy, thieves, vandals, strikers, malicious mischief,
explosions, unavoidable accidents, invasions, insurrections, riots,
or by order of any military or civil authority, whether the damage
be direct or collateral, or other than as herein provided.

[Ord. 578, 1-2-1979]
The cemetery management reserves, and shall have, the right
to correct any errors that may be made by it, either in making interments,
disinterments, or removals, or in the description, transfer, or conveyance
of any interment property, either by cancelling such conveyances end
substituting any conveyance in lieu thereof for other interment property
of equal value and similar location as far as possible, or as may
be selected by the management or in sole discretion of the management
by refunding amount of money paid on account of the purchase. In the
event such error shall involve the interment of the remains of any
person in such property, the cemetery management reserves, and shall
have, the right to remove or transfer such remains so interred to
such other property of equal value and similar location as may be
substituted, and conveyed in lieu thereof.
[Ord. 578, 1-2-1979]
The laws of the State govern the descent of title to cemetery
lots, as well as other matters pertaining to assignment, conveyances,
devices, trusts, deeds and inalienability. The management will gladly
assist any lot owner who desires information or advice on questions
pertaining to his lot.
