INTERMENT OF PETS No pets shall be interred in the cemetery, either alone or with human remains.

Greenwood Cemetery may at its' discretion allow a maximum of a 30 day "courtesy hold" without a deposit, on a lot(s) for a family needing time to make a purchase decision. LOT OWNERS—PROPERTY RIGHTS OF Only the right to inter is conveyed. Greenwood Cemetery retains all other interest in the space, crypt, or niche conveyed. All interment rights conveyed to individuals are the sole and separate property of the owner named in the instrument of conveyance. Successors in interest shall be determined as follows: The spouse of an owner of any lot containing more than one interment space has a vested right of interment of his/her remains in the lot and any person thereafter becoming the spouse of the owner has a vested right of interment of his/her remains in the lot if more than one interment space is unoccupied at the time the person becomes the spouse of the owner. No conveyance or other action of the owner without the written consent of joinder of the spouse of the owner divests the spouse of a vested right of interment, except that a final decree of divorce between them terminates the vested right of interment unless otherwise provided in the decree. In a conveyance to two or more persons as joint tenants, each joint tenant has a vested right of interment in the lot conveyed. Upon the death of a joint tenant, the title to the lot held in joint tenancy immediately vests in the survivors, subject to the vested right of interment of the remains of the deceased joint tenant. A vested right of interment may be waived and is terminated upon the interment elsewhere of the remains of the person in whom vested. An affidavit by a person having knowledge of the facts setting forth the fact of the death of the owner and the time of the person or persons entitled to the use of the lot is complete authorization to the cemetery to permit the use of the unoccupied portions of the lot by the person entitled to the use of it. An affidavit by any person having knowledge of the facts setting forth the fact of the death of one joint tenant and establishing the identity of the surviving joint tenants named in the deed to any lot, when filed with the cemetery, is complete authorization to the cemetery to permit the use of the unoccupied portion of the lot in accordance with the directions of the surviving joint tenants or their successors in interest. When there are several owners of a lot, or of right of interment in it, they may designate one or more persons to represent the lot and file written notice of designation with the management. In the absence of such notice or of written objection to its so doing, the cemetery is not liable to any owner for interring or permitting an interment in the lot upon the request or direction of any co- owner of the lot. No vested right of interment gives to any person the right to have his/her remains interred in any interment space in which the remains of any deceased person having a prior vested right of interment have been interred, without acquisition of a second/third right of interment. NOTICE 48 hours notice, Sundays and Holiday excluded, must be given to the management before any burial. The management is authorized to refuse interment in, or the erection of any memorial work on any lot against which there is an unpaid balance or no endowment care. The potential waiver of the required notice will be considered on a case by case basis and will be subject to additional fees. No disinterment or removal shall be made except by the management on request of the person(s) with legal authority to direct the same, or by court order prior to time of removal.
