Springvale Cemetery is overseen and cared for by Cass County, ND. It is reserved for those who qualify for <br />burial assistance through the Cass Human Service Zone. At this �me, cemetery lots cannot be boughten <br />by individuals or saved for individuals who have not qualified for this assistance. Each burial is in the next <br />available lot. <br />Below are the rules and regula�ons for Springvale Cemetery. <br />Markers: <br />Only markers with base (size 34” x 22” or smaller) are allowed to be placed at the grave site. No plaques <br />(other than military markers) or upright monuments are allowed. All monument companies must contact <br />the cemetery Sexton for approval for having the marker set at the cemetery. Springvale reserves the right <br />to reject any marker or memorial which does not conform to the rules and regula�ons. <br />Decora�ons: <br />Grave decora�ons should be placed as close as possible to the grave marker to allow accessibility for lawn <br />mowing equipment. If decora�ons interfere with normal grass mowing those items may be removed <br />and/or discarded by cemetery staff. <br />Items NOT allowed include glass decora�ons, items over 36 inches in height, trees, shrubs, edging material, <br />metal or plas�c fences, benches and large concrete pots or planters. <br />Nothing may be placed on top of the grave other than black dirt and grass seed. Landscape rocks, stones, <br />or mounded dirt on top of the grave are not allowed. <br />Graves are maintained by the cemetery and if addi�onal dirt and grass seed needs to be placed, this will <br />be completed by cemetery staff only. <br />Cleaning: <br />Springvale Cemetery will be thoroughly cleaned each spring (first week of April) and fall (first week of <br />October). Grave decora�ons may be removed during both the fall and spring cleanups. If you have <br />decora�ons you wish to save, you must remove them prior to the cleanup dates. <br />Cemetery staff will use their discre�on in removing and discarding the items if they become unsightly or <br />appear to have been ignored and abandoned. <br />Wind, rain, wildlife, and general maintenance of the cemetery (mowing lawn) may damage or even <br />displace some grave decora�ons. Springvale is a public cemetery and items may also be lost due to vandals <br />or thieves. Springvale is not responsible for damage or loss to decora�ons or markers that are placed on <br />the grave site. The cemetery is not liable for any costs or damage to items removed from gravesites and <br />discarded by staff in accordance with the rules and regula�ons. <br />Burials: <br />The cemetery Sexton must be no�fied of any burial that is to occur at Springvale. Cremated remains <br />cannot be buried by a funeral home or a family without approval from the Sexton. <br />Two sets of cremated remains (two urns) may be buried in one lot. One set of cremated remains (one urn) <br />may be buried on top of a full body interment (casket).
