RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE SOUTH MALVERN
CEMETERY, COUNTY OF SELWYN.

The following rules and regulations, made under the
provisions of "The Cemeteries Management Act,"
1877," have been adopted by the Trustees of the
South Malvern Cemetery, this 2nd March, 1881.

1. The South Malvern Cemetery shall be divided
   into burial-plots, as follows, viz.: First, into portions
   in which the exclusive right of burial in perpetuity
   may be acquired, in plots of ground 9 feet by 6 feet,
   superficial measurement, marked out for that purpose,
   and approved by the Trustees. These lots shall be
   sold by the Trustees to persons applying for the same,
   at £1 1s. per plot.

2. Permission will be given by the Trustees to the
   purchasers of the exclusive right of burial to fence in
   the plots allotted to them, and erect tombstones,
   headstones, or other monuments thereon: Provided
   that, before any such fence, tombstone, headstone, or
   other monument be erected, a plan thereof and a
   copy of the epitaph or inscription be submitted to the
   Trustees, and be duly approved by them.

3. No tree or shrub shall be allowed to be planted
   in any portion of the cemetery, except by the express
   permission of the Trustees, and any tall-growing tree
   or shrub may at any time be trimmed, removed, or
   cut down by order of the Trustees.

4. Grants of exclusive right of burial in perpetuity
   shall be made out in the form marked A annexed to
   these regulations, on payment of a fee of 1s. in
   addition to the price to be paid for the same, as pro-
   vided by Rule 1.

5. Any puchaser of exclusive right of burial in
   any plot of ground in which no interment shall have
   taken place may transfer his or her interest in the
   said ground to any other person, with the sanction of
   the Trustees; and in the event of such transfer a
   fee of 5s. shall be paid to the Trustees.

6. If a grant of exclusive right of burial should be
   lost or accidentally destroyed, a duplicate can be
   obtained on application to the Trustees, and on pay-
   ment of a fee of 5s.; and any person applying for
   such duplicate must give satisfactory evidence of the
   loss of the original grant, and of their authority to
   apply for a duplicate grant. Should the original
   grant be found at any time after the issue of the
   duplicate, the duplicate must be at once returned to
   the Trustees.

7. If at any time a transfer or duplicate of grants
   of exclusive right of burial shall be required, the
   parties applying for the same shall, at their own cost,
   provide all necessary duty-stamps.

8. The second division of the cemetery shall com-
   prise a portion of ground set apart for the interment
   of such persons as are not purchasers of, and have
   not acquired, the exclusive right of burial in any part
   of the cemetery. No grave of this description shall,
   under any circumstances, be opened for any new
   interment sooner than after the expiry of five years
   from the time of the first or last interment. No
   fencing or other obstruction rising more than one
   foot above the surface shall be allowed. Surviving
   relatives or friends of those interred in such plots
   may purchase exclusive right of burial in perpetuity
   in such plots under clause 4.

9. As soon as any portion of the cemetery is laid
   out for interment, a complete plan shall be made
   thereof, showing the plots for sale. Each plot shall
   be numbered, and such plots shall be marked out by
   pegs in the ground.

10. The Trustees shall cause to be kept a record-
    book, in which shall be entered from time to time the
    number of every lot sold, the name of the purchaser
    thereof, and the date of sale of the same. A record
    shall also be kept of every plot of ground used for
    the purpose of interment, the name of the person
    interred, and date of burial.

11. The record-book shall be open for the inspec-
    tion of the public any day, except on Sundays and
    holidays.

12. A sexton will from time to time be appointed
    by the Trustees, whose duty it will be to dig all
    graves required in the cemetery.

13. All graves must be 6 feet deep; but in the
    event of purchasers of private ground desiring a
    greater depth, an extra charge of 2s. shall be made
    for every foot more than 6 feet deep.

14. In all cases of intended interment, the person
    having the management or control of the same shall
    apply to the Trustees or other person appointed to
    issue the same for a burial-warrant, which warrant
    will be given on payment of a fee of 12s. 6d.

15. The foregoing charge is in addition to any sums
    that may be paid for grants of exclusive right of
    burial, and does not include payment for any work
    required to be done beyond the actual digging of any
    ordinary grave, and filling in the same after interment.

16. The warrant for burial, when signed, shall be
    given by the party having the management of the
    funeral to the sexton, and shall be a sufficient
    authority for such interment: Provided always that
    such burial-warrant must be given to the sexton at
    least six working hours prior to the time fixed for the
    funeral, otherwise an extra fee of 5s. shall be charged.

17. Until otherwise ordered, the usual hours fixed
    for funerals will be from 8 o'clock a.m. to 5 o'clock
    p.m. No funerals will be allowed to take place
    between the hours of 7 o'clock p.m. and 7 o'clock a.m.
