Cemetary rules and regulations regarding

grave decorations

At a regular meeting of Emmanuel Lodge #213, on March 15, the following rules and

regulations concerning grave decorations were adopted and put into effect.
•The use of decorative rocks, mulch, stepping stones, bordering material, statues, glass of

any type, any large concrete figures or any decorative material not attached to a monument

will not be allowed.
•The use of shepherd hooks and other flower holding devices may be used if placed so that

they touch the base of the monument and do not hang out far enough to impede mowing or create a hazard.
•The planting of shrubs, trees, bulbs or any other plant will not be allowed.
•Personal memorabilia that can be permanently attached to a monument will be allowed

as long as it does not impede mowing or create a hazard.
It is our sincere desire to keep the grounds of the cemeteries neat and to continue to provide a

desirable place for people to bury their loved ones. The safety of workers and visitors and

monument damage are also concerns and were part of this decision.
