Hello!
I received a call from Rachel Powers this morning. She is the granddaughter of Gaston & Ida Catrett. She is planning on
ordering new headstones for her grand parents. They currently have markers that are flush with the ground which is
required (in our Cemetery Rules) for Blocks 14, 15, and 16. She has two issues:
1. There are markers right near her grand parents that are not flush with the ground, so she would like to order
markers that are not flush with the ground.
2. The current markers for her grandparents are buried in the dirt which she tried to correct but there are ants
everywhere so she couldn't fix it.
She was requesting to meet with City Staff at the cemetery, but I asked her to let me check and see about the markers
she saw that are not flush with the ground. Can you verify? She does not know the names on the markers.
III Thanks!

That's correct as we do not maintain the headstones themselves. Those are personal property.

I will notify Rachel Powers that she will need to contact a monument company to uncover her parent's headstones
(attached picture).

• Karen,

She can pay the monument company to raise them, but as I said before, this is usually part of the purchase
agreement when the markers were originally bought and installed.
Our statement is the same on the height requirements etc that I already provided you in a previous email.
Our staff does not perform this work and why I mentioned in previous email. The monument company used
formerly or a new one will need to be contacted.

Nate,
Rachel Powers would like the current headstones for her parents raised or cleared around so that they are completely
visible. Is this possible?
Please advise.
Thanks!

Karen,
From the photos Erick showed me at the end of the day today the stones already in place should be sufficient,
but just need to be raised to grade again.
The new marker will be acceptable as long as the new stones are "flush mounted to current grade" with no
base and no more than 1" above grade as per cemetery rules.
That needs to be made crystal clear as we don't want to have to request it be lowered so our equipment can
pass over it during maintenance activities. There is no wiggle room on this. We cannot let someone knowingly
go against our rules. If it did happen in the past as an oversight then its our duty to ensure it doesn't happen
again.
Anything more than I have listed above would not be agreeable in this designated section.
Thank You,
Nathan Brigman

This picture is exactly what Rachel was talking about and she wants to purchase stones the same size for her
parents. No problem with that, correct?

Hi!
Sorry to bother you again........... Rose asked if we could get a picture of any taller headstones nearby. Rachel's question
was about purchasing new headstones that are NOT flush with the ground because there are others nearby that are
not. See her note below.
Thanks!

Erick/Matthew — if possible, could you take a picture of the raised markers in question? I am questioning the date of
interment.

Hi Rachel!
We need to follow the cemetery rules regarding the headstones: Flush mounted to current grade with no base and
no more than 1" above grade.
1 can talk to Parks & Rec staff about trying to uncover the current headstones if you'd like.
Thanks!

Good morning Karen,
I was going to redo them and wanted to fix them like the picture you sent me. There is no way a lawnmower can mow
over those headstones. There are 3 of them not far from my parents. They are at least 2 inches above the ground. I
need to know if I can fix them like the picture you sent.
Right now 1 would like my parents graves uncovered. If I don't redo them they will have to be raised so they are not
below the ground.
Thanks for your help!
Rachel
