CEMETERY RULES AND REGULATIONS

The Company, subject to New Jersey law, provides for Care and Maintenance which includes the cutting of grass at reasonable intervals and such other work as may be necessary to keep the cemetery in good order.  The maintenance and care of the memorials is not the responsibility of the Cemetery Company.  

No evergreens, trees, shrubs or flowers are permitted to be planted in bronze memorial sections. Any planting in upright memorial sections is subject to approval of the Company and may be removed if injurious to the appearance or infringe upon the boundaries of surrounding lots or grounds.  Concrete urns or similar decorations are not permitted.  Glass, china containers, baskets or metal flower holders left on lots will be removed with faded flowers, also baskets or metal flower holders that become unsightly.  The placing of landscape stones, shells and borders, boxes, toys and similar articles upon graves is prohibited and such objects will be removed.  For reasons of safety and to prevent damage to equipment, kindly refrain from installing borders of brick, landscaping stones or other edging. You may have sunken rubber half-moon edging 18” in front of stone monument sections ONLY.

All memorial work is subject to approval of the Company as to location, design, dimensions, material and a Memorial Application must be submitted and approved prior to the manufacture of the memorial. The setting of memorials will not be permitted until payment for Burial Right(s) is complete.

We will allow veteran flat bronze government memorials as a second memorial in the upright memorial sections only.
