A. No person shall place within the cemeteries any flat memorial made of any material other than marble, granite or bronze; provided, that any flat memorial measuring less than 12 inches by 24 inches shall have a concrete border. Concrete borders for flat memorials shall be of sufficient size and depth to hold the memorial firmly in place and flush with the ground. All flat memorials must be flush with the surface of the ground.

B. Upright memorials are not permitted in Park Hill Cemetery except for Sections “A,” “B,” “C,” “J,” “O,” and “R.” Upright memorials, constructed pursuant to this section, may be erected in the foregoing designated sections of Park Hill Cemetery. Upright memorials may be allowed in other city cemeteries in the discretion of the lead cemetery official. Erection of an upright memorial on a grave shall not preclude the placing of a flat memorial on the same grave, subject to the other provisions in this chapter. Including and subject to the following provisions, the composition, dimensions, and styles of all foundations and bases for upright memorials shall require written approval in advance by the lead cemetery official:

C. A bronze plaque may be used on any memorial, whether flat or upright.
