The cemetery does not permit raised graves. Any grave that is raised by a private owner will be leveled by the cemetery staff, at the owner's expense. New graves will be tamped and leveled in a timely manner by the cemetery. The care and maintenance of the grave marker is the "responsibility" of the individual grave site owner. The cemetery is not responsible for maintenance or repair of the grave marker.

Fencing, stripping, bricks or any other method of marking a grave or lot is not permitted and such materials will be removed immediately.
