§ 14-48. Plantings generally.

(a)

Evergreens. Planting of evergreens in the cemetery is restricted to the dwarf evergreen variety only.

(b)

Removal. The cemetery superintendent shall have the right to remove, without notice, trees and shrubs and flowers planted in violation of this article. The superintendent reserves the right to trim, cut down and remove any plantings by a lot owner which interfere with cemetery maintenance or which detract from the general appearance of the cemetery. When it is necessary to remove any trees on a cemetery lot in order to make the lot usable, the city will remove the trees, and the cost of removal shall be borne by the lot owner.

(c)

Planting area. All real or artificial flowers or floral plantings may be planted in a bed next to the monument or headstone, but not spread out over any grave space, or placed in approved urns or containers. Cemetery personnel will not be responsible for flowers or plantings that may prohibit necessary grounds care activities.
