Can the cemetery restrict what kind of items that family members can place on their loved ones grave?
Cemeteries generally try to maintain an environment that will be pleasing to all visitors. Cemeteries may restrict the placement of extra ornamentation on the gravesites if the items interfere with maintenance of the cemetery or pose a danger if caught by the lawn mower or other equipment. The cemetery bylaws will state what may be placed upon graves and what is acceptable landscaping. Bylaws and rules can change over the years. A cemetery is required to make all rules and bylaws available to anyone upon request.
