General Rules

The rules are for the protection of the Cemetery, the lot owners as a whole, and for individual lot owners.

For the mutual protection of lot owners and the Cemetery as a whole, the following rules and regulations have been adopted by the GREENWOOD CEMETERY BOARD as the rules and regulations of GREENWOOD CEMETERY and all lot owners and visitors within the Cemetery and all lots sold, shall be subject to said rules and regulations.  And subject further, to such other rules and regulations, amendments or alterations as shall be adopted by the CEMETERY BOARD. 

The Superintendent is authorized to make temporary additional rules.  

1) It is the duty of the Superintendent to see that the rules and regulations are complied with and it is his duty to see that the order is maintained and to protect and promote the best interests of the Cemetery.  To that end, he is authorized to make temporary additional rules which may be needed, from time to time, to meet emergencies which are not covered by these Rules and Regulations.

The Cemetery reserves the right to make temporary exceptions to the rules. 

2) Special cases may arise in which the literal enforcement of a rule may impose unnecessary hardship.  The Cemetery, there­fore, reserves the right to make exceptions, suspensions or modifica­tions of any of these Rules and Regulations when in the judgment of the Management such action appears necessary; and such temporary exception, suspension or modification shall in no way be construed as affecting the general application of such Rules and Regulations.

The statement by any employee does not obligate the Cemetery.

3) The instrument of these Rules and Regulations and any amend­ments thereto constitute the sole agreement between the Cemetery and the lot owner.  The statement of any employee or agent, unless confirmed in writing by the Management, shall in no way bind the Cemetery.

The Superintendent is authorized to enforce all rules and has charge of the property and buildings. 

4) The Management is hereby empowered to enforce all Rules and Regulations and to exclude from the Cemetery any person violating the same.  The Management shall have charge of the grounds and buildings, including the conduct of funerals, traffic, employees, lot owners and visitors and at all times shall have supervision and control of all persons in the Cemetery.
