The marking of graves in Sunset Gardens is restricted to flat bronze or granite headstones set flush with the turf, with the exception of Block 7, Lots 130 and 131, where upright headstones are allowed. One headstone will be permitted on one grave space, with the exception of a government market. All headstones and their placement must be approved by the sexton prior to installation at the Cemetery. The City will permit only the use of urns or vases as approved by the Sexton of the Cemetery. Symbols, such as Faith, Hope, and Love, as well as religious symbols, such as the Cross or Star of David, and emblems of Fraternal and Military organizations contribute to the significance of the headstone.
Epitaphs decidedly add character to a headstone.
It is, therefore, recommended that symbols, epitaphs, and historical inscriptions be used whenever possible. Any person, firm or corporation other than an employee of the City engaged in placing, erecting, or repairing any headstone on the Cemetery grounds must be bonded and shall be deemed a contractor.
