holders account.

14. Terms of Sales: Graves or Lots may be purchased by Catholics or Non-Catholics.
Graves may be purchased under a deferred payment plan. Payments will be made on

any interment. When the purchase price of the grave or graves is paid a receipt of
ownership, with the cemetery seal on it, for burial purposes only will be issued. If a
lot is purchased under a deferred payment plan and the purchaser fails to complete
payment of the full purchase within fifteen months from the date of the deferred payment
plan, the said plan shall be void at the end of said fifteen months' period and the
cemetery will retain all money from partly paid graves under said plan as liquidated
damages or otherwise.

see that the Rules and Regulations are complied with and to see that order is maintained.
It is recognized that special cases may arise in which literal enforcement of a rule may
create unnecessary hardships. The Commission reserves the right to make exceptions
or suspension of any of these Rules and Regulations without notice when, in the judgment
of the Commission, such action is deemed necessary.
