No disinterest will be allowed in any lot or grave without an order from the owner and Board of Directors. 5. Every order for interment must be signed by the proprietor or his or her legal attorney; and after the decease of the proprietor, by the legal representative. 6. No grave or tomb shall be opened for interment or removal by any person not in the employ of the Company. 7. No grave shall be opened nearer than six inches from the boundary line of the lot. 8. When more than one interment is made in the same grave, the last shall be at least five feet below the surface of the ground. 9.

It frequently occurs that messages are sent desiring that graves should be opened adjoining or near the graves of persons previously interred. Where graves are not designated by stones or otherwise, it will be impossible in process of time to comply with the directions thus given unless some system for designating every grave is adopted. It is recommended, therefore, that each lot owner make a drawing of his plat on a blank part of his deed, and record on it every interment, with name and date. Upon the occurrence of future interments, let a transcript of this map, with the place marked where the grave is desired to be opened, be duly sent. In this way every difficulty will be obviated, and an interesting family record will be made and preserved for future generations. Rules Concerning Public Lots 1.
