ARTICLE XXI – MAUSOLEUMS
1.    Private Mausoleums: Mausoleums may be erected only on those lots as indicated on the Cemetery Plats as mausoleum or above ground vault sites. Cemetery lots not originally sold and designated as mausoleums or above ground vault sites cannot be used for such a structure, except by express permission of the Cemetery Management. The minimum size of a monumental lot upon which a mausoleum is to be erected shall not be less than two times the ground area to be occupied by the structure.

2.    Plans and Specifications:  The plans and specifications for a mausoleum or above ground vault shall be submitted to the Cemetery Management and the location on the lot approved before a permit for the erection will be issued.  Building permits, if any, shall be the responsibility of the Owner to secure and provide copy of same to the Cemetery prior to construction.  Sufficient time must be given to the Cemetery to have the plans of such structures thoroughly reviewed.

3.     Approval:  The Cemetery shall have the right to refuse a permit for the erection of any structure which in the opinion of the Cemetery Management is improper or not in harmony with other surrounding structures.

4.    Endowment for Upkeep:  Permanent arrangements for the endowment of a mausoleum or vault will be required from the Owner or the Owner’s legal representative before a permit for the construction of the mausoleum can be obtained. The endowment must be sufficient to assure adequate funds for the upkeep and maintenance of the structure and grounds based on present and projected costs. If permanent arrangements for upkeep are not provided, an endowment will be required sufficient for demolition costs in the event of disrepair or deterioration. The income from this Endowment Fund will be used exclusively to maintain and care for the mausoleum. The amount of the fund will be determined by the Cemetery’s management, but will not be less than 10 percent of the total cost of the lot and structure

5.    Removal of Neglected Mausoleums:  Any mausoleum or vault which becomes unsightly or dangerous, through neglect by the Owner or lack of funds may be removed and the remains therein buried in the lot. The cost of removing the structure shall be taken out of the vault or mausoleum endowment fund and the balance returned to the persons entitled to the same. Underground vaults covered above the ground by slabs are permitted only on monumental lots.

6.    Cemetery’s Right to Enforce Rules:  All endowment certificates for the maintenance of mausoleums or vaults will contain a clause that will give the Cemetery the right to enforce any rules adopted by it.

7.    Access.  Upon completion of any vault in the mausoleum, one key to each lock must be deposited in the Cemetery’s office, to remain permanently in the custody of the Cemetery.

8.    Separation of Crypts:  All remains must be in separate crypts, which can be hermetically sealed to Cemetery regulations.
