For the mutual protection of lot owners and for the best interests of our cemeteries as a whole, the Company has adopted the following rules and regulations:

1. All lot owners, all visitors within the cemeteries, all employees and other workmen, and all business firms or their representatives concerned are subject to these rules and regulations, as well as to any amendments or alterations as shall be adopted from time to time by the Company. Also, any conditions or rules set forth in the Certificate of ownership of a Lot or on any other conveyance or document issued by the Company shall have the same force or effect as if set forth in full herein.

2. Special cases may arise in which the literal enforcement of a rule may impose unnecessary hardship. The Company, therefore, reserves the right to make exceptions, suspensions, or modifications of any of these Rules and Regulations without notice, when in their judgment such actions appear necessary. Such temporary exceptions, suspensions or modifications shall in no way be construed as affecting the general application of the Rules and Regulations concerned.

3. It shall be the duty of the Manager to see that these Rules and Regulations are complied with. It shall also be his duty to see that good order is maintained at all times and the best interests of the cemeteries be protected and promoted. To this end, he is authorized to make temporary additional rules which he deems necessary from time to time to meet emergencies which are not covered by these Rules and Regulations.

4. The Company hereby expressly reserves the right to adopt additional Rules and Regulations or to amend, alter or repeal any rule, regulation, article, section, paragraph or sentence in these Rules and Regulations, at any time, without notice.

5. Children under twelve shall not be admitted to the grounds except when in the charge of an adult, who, in all cases, shall be responsible for their good conduct.


Office of the Company is at Resurrection Cemetery, 2643 Kings Rd., Sydney Forks, NS B1L 1A1.
Office Hours: The Office of the Manager will be open for business from 1:00 - 3:00 pm from Monday to Friday.

1. Lots for burial purposes will be sold for cash, at such prices as may be determined upon by the Company and according to the plans on file in the Office.

2. Purchasers of lots acquire simply the right and privilege of the burial of the human dead, and of having monuments installed according to the rules and regulations at that time.

3. No lot will be considered sold or reserved for sale until reported at the office and approved by the Manager or his designate.

4. Lots purchased will be conveyed by the Company to the purchaser on the form adopted by the company and this deed is valid only in the limited sense of Paragraph 2 of these regulations. It will be given to the purchaser only when complete payment of lot is made and all indebtedness to the Company is settled.

5. The record of deeds kept at the Office of the Company is the only evidence of title or ownership which is recognized. Consequently, when a person receives a lot by transfer from the proprietor he should send his deed there for record at once.

6. In case of the death of a lot owner, who has received ownership by transfer, it shall be the duty of the heirs or devisees to file with the Company satisfactory proof of new ownership. This is a very important matter as the company may not allow interments to be made until such proof is furnished.

7. No sale, transfer or assignment of any lot or part of lot shall be valid without the consent of the Company endorsed on the conveyance. No lot owner has the right to transfer his lot. Such transfers are mere privileges extended in special cases by the Company after careful investigation and the determination by members of the Company that they are in proper order.

8. Lots may be purchased in advance of need, without interest, over a period of two (2) years. A contract detailing this agreement must be signed and witnessed between the Company and the lot owner or its designate.

9. Proprietors shall not allow interments to be made in their lots for remuneration.

10. Trees, shrubs or flowers may not be planted. The Company reserves to themselves the entire control of every tree, shrub, vine or flower growing within the Cemetery enclosure, including the right to removal when it considers such advisable, even those donated in memory of someone interred at the Cemetery.

11. The disposal of rubbish on roads, adjoining graves or elsewhere is prohibited.

12. The Company, at its own option, reserves the right to have all work on the lots done by its own workmen.

13. Proprietors and visitors are urgently requested to report immediately any act of discourtesy, annoyance, vandalism or other breach of propriety within the grounds.

BOUNDARIES AND CARE OF LOTS

1. A Cemetery has a two-fold purpose in the Community. It provides a permanent resting place for the mortal remains of our beloved dead and it should be a comfort and inspiration for the living. To achieve these ends, full co-operation of all Lot Owners and others concerned is required.

2. Borders, fences, railings, walls, plant material and other memorabilia in and around lots are prohibited.

3. If any monument or any structure or any inscription be placed in or upon any monument or structure which shall be decided by the Company to be non-conforming, the Company may enter upon the lot and remove the non-conforming object or objects.

4. The size of a full or complete lot shall be approximately 4' x 10' or 40 sq. ft. except for Ranges 65 - 102 which shall be approximately 4.5' x 11' or 49.5 sq.ft.
The size of a lot for cremated remains shall be 2' x 3' or six square feet.
The size of a columbarium niche is presently 12" x 12" x 12".

5. No person shall make any walks, cut sod or move posts or grave markers in the Cemetery.

6. The use of glass jars or bottles as Flower containers is prohibited. They are dangerous to workmen and visitors alike.

7. The placing of winter wreaths or sprays is permissible only from November 1 to April 1. After April 1 they should or will be removed. This improves the general appearance of the Cemetery and permits the grass to grow. Styrofoam wreaths or Styrofoam sprays are not permitted at any time.

8. No concrete vaults or other oversize vaults are permitted.

9. Wooden markers of any design, even crosses, are prohibited. The Cemetery Company will place an inconspicuous marker on any unmarked used burial or cremation lot.

10. Statues, or any like object, are forbidden on graves in the Cemetery and will be removed. They are, as a general rule, unsightly and they interfere with the cutting of grass.

11. All flowers (cut, silk, or plastic), wreaths or other ornaments left on grave sites will be removed with each horticultural procedure on the grounds including mowing, liming, fertilizing, spraying, aerating, de-thatching, or other deemed necessary by the Company. The Company will then dispose of all items collected from the lots and surrounding areas.

12. In the Children's section only single lots will be sold and no reservations will be made.

13. The Company provides for perpetual care, and for this purpose, it has established a PERPETUAL CARE FUND.

MONUMENTS, MARKERS AND FOUNDATIONS

For these rules and regulations that follow

A monument is any grave memorial with an attached foundation; such as a bronze plaque or other metal plate with a cement or granite base or a granite stone with a concrete foundation.

3. Only flat monuments or markers are permitted in the cemetery.

4. If there is a foundation of any type, the foundation must be level with the monument. This is to minimize damage to both the monuments and the machinery transversing the area.

6. The maximum size for any grave marker or monument is 2.5 cubic feet (3456 cu.in.).

7. All flower vases must be of the in-ground variety and manufactured to withstand the elements. Vases contained within markers or monuments must be bolted to the marker or monument. All separate vases will be installed by the Company for a fee.

INTERMENTS

1. The Manager of the Cemetery, or any employee designated by the Manager, is required to be in attendance at each interment.

7. Two full burial interments in one lot are not permitted.

8. The scattering of cremated remains upon the surface of the Cemetery is not permitted.

10. The interment of the deceased shall take place as soon as possible, depending on conditions, following the interment service.

11. If someone wishes to place a marker in Resurrection Cemetery for a person not interred there, the fees for cremation burial will be charged.

12. An interment shall not take place on the same day if the remains arrive at the cemetery after 3:00 pm. The burial will take place the next scheduled working day if conditions permit. (i.e. a remains arriving after 3:00 pm on a Friday would not be interred until Monday at the earliest).

13. No coffin protector (i.e. vaults, roughboxes, liners etc.) shall be used if the management decrees such to interfere with the interment. This is to encourage winter burials which may be limited by space and monuments unable to be moved in the frost.
