THE MODERN CEMETERY. 
VIEW IN WOODLAWN CEMETERY, TOLEDO, O. 
impossible to make grass live or to mow properly on 
high mounds, therefore no mounds raised above 
four inches at the centre will be allowed, and in no 
case will growing flowers be permitted on them, nor 
flowers in pots. Such found in violation of this rule 
will be removed. This does not interfere with plac- 
ing bouquets or cut flowers on graves, if properly se- 
cured. Myrtle on graves is not recommended, but 
will be permitted provided no mound is raised, and 
the care of same is placed with the superintendent. 
To secure a good effect in the cemetery it is es- 
sential that every portion of it should be well cared 
for as partial neglect would mar the beauty of the 
entire surroundings. Therefore all the care of the 
lots is assumed by the Association; the avenues and 
walks will be kept in good condition, trees and 
shrubbery will be trimmed and pruned, the turf 
will be kept mowed without extra charge to lot 
owners. 
Unusual outlays are from time to 
time necessary on every lot by the im- 
poverishment of the soil, the decay of 
trees and shrubs, or the effect of time 
on vaults, monuments, markers, etc. 
In order to provide for these contingen- 
cies for all time to come it is advisable 
that each lot owner, by will or other- 
wise, leave or deposit with the cemetery 
association a sum of money, the prin- 
cipal of which is to remain untouched, 
and the interest to be used on said lot 
as occasion may require. The associa- 
tion will therefore receive in trust any 
such sums. 
No grave markers will be permit- 
ted to exceed sixteen inches in height above the 
sod, the width and thickness to be in propor- 
tion, but none will be allowed to embrace 
two or more graves. Those less than six inches 
shall not be placed higher than eight inches, 
and none less than four inches thick will be 
permitted. 
Foundations for grave markers, monuments and 
other superstructures will be built only upon the 
lot owners written orders, giving size of base, etc. 
The bottom of the lower base must be squared suf- 
ficiently to allow it to rest firmly on the foundation, 
as no wedging will be permitted. 
In no instance will permission be given to erect 
vaults or tombs as a receptacle for bodies above 
ground in localities where they will be objectional 
and injurious to surrounding lots. 
No burial shall take place from the Public Vault 
on Sunday or a Holiday.
