Something To Think About DIRECTOR ROBERT B. WILLIAMS BURIAL MONUMENT RESTRICTIONS It sometimes happens that a person chooses a cemetery only to find out afterward that he or she cannot erect the type of burial monument desired. This is something to check on since each cemetery handles this matter differently. In some town cemeteries the height and weight of funeral monuments are carefully regulated regulated by municipal decree. In others the type of inscription and the materials the marker is made of is legislated by cemetery cemetery policy. Some cemeteries will not allow large statuary or unusual stones to mark the graves. They require that markers markers be identical and that they be symmetrically positioned throughout the burial property. This type of strict uniformity is designed to keep the cemetery cemetery looking simple, neat, and democratic. It does in fact defend defend against the outrageous or grotesque monuments that some people would erect. However, it does not allow for much individuality or freedom of expression.
