Trust Deeds

It is sometimes desirable for the Proprietor to restrict the use of a lot after his or her death. This may be accomplished by deeding the lot to the Cemetery Department in Trust and thereafter only such work or interments as specified in the Trust will be allowed. When the terms of said Trust are fulfilled, the lot is closed to further work forever.

Complaints

Proprietors are urged to report immediately any error, unsatisfactory work or other apparent omission to the office. Please do not make complaints to the workmen. All complaints should be filed in writing by the proprietor of a lot or grave to the Cemetery office.

Work Orders

Any requests for work to be performed in the field must be requested in writing by the proprietor.
