PORTOBELLO CEMETERY.

D. REID,
Provincial Secretary.

December 29th, 1874.

Rules and Regulations made by the Managers of the Portobello Cemetery under the provisions of Section 5 of “The Cemetery Reserves Management Ordinance, 1864”:

1. All charges must be paid when orders are given.

2. Any person or persons making a vault, or erecting and placing a monument in the Cemetery, by and with the permission of the Managers, under these Rules, and upon the payment of the charges therein mentioned, is entitled to have, maintain, and keep up such monument, vault, or tombstone, according to the terms of such permission, to and for the sole and separate use of such person or persons, heirs, near relations, and friends for ever.

3. Applications for such permission must be made to the Secretary, or one of the Managers. A certificate of such permission will be granted to the party applying for such permission on payment of the charges in Schedule A.

4. The costs and charges will be remitted on the burial of any poor person in such Cemetery, on the certificate of a minister of religion, or other evidence proving, to the satisfaction of the Managers, that such person was a pauper, or that the relations and friends of the deceased were unable to pay the costs and charges.

5. Orders for interment must be given to the Sexton at least six working hours prior to the hour fixed for the funeral, otherwise an extra charge will be made (see Schedule A). No free interment will be allowed without the above notice of six hours.

6. The Managers will cause all ordinary graves to be dug, but parties wanting brick graves or vaults will be required to construct them, under the supervision of a surveyor (appointed by the Managers); and in case interment is to be in any private grave or vault, the consent in writing of the party entitled thereto must be left with the order.

7. The name, age, the late place of residence, and probable cause of death of the deceased, and any other necessary information, must be stated at the time of giving the order.

8. The time fixed for the funeral must be the time when the procession is to be at the Cemetery, and the same must be punctually observed.

9. Until otherwise ordered, the usual hours fixed for funerals will be from 8 o’clock, a.m., to 5 o’clock, p.m., during the months intervening between the 1st September and the 30th day of April; and from 8 o’clock, a.m., to 4 o’clock, p.m., in the other four months of the year, except on Sundays, when the usual and only funerals will be from 2 to 5 o’clock, p.m., throughout the year. No funerals will be allowed to take place between the hours of 7 o’clock, p.m., and 7 o’clock, a.m.

10. All monuments, vaults, graves, and gravestones must be kept in repair and proper condition by and at the expense of the owners.

11. Every coffin in a vault or brick grave must be bricked in, cemented, and covered by a slab of stone, slate, or iron.

12. A drawing of every stone, tomb, pedestal, and plan of every fence, monument, or tablet proposed to be erected, and a copy of every epitaph or inscription must be submitted to the Managers for approval.

13. The ground will be open daily to the public from sunrise to sunset.

14. A plan of the Cemetery, showing the situation of the graves, is kept by the Secretary, and may be inspected at the charge set out in Schedule A; and registers of all grants are kept by the Secretary.

15. The Sexton has orders to turn out, or take into custody, as the case may require, any person who shall behave indecorously, or commit any trespass or injury to the trees, flowers, or erections, or otherwise infringe the Ordinance relating to the Cemetery, or the Regulations for the protection of the same; and such person shall be proceeded against according to the provisions of the Cemetery Reserves Management Ordinance, 1864.

16. No funeral will be allowed to take place in the Cemetery without a certificate from a Registrar, Deputy-Registrar, or Coroner holding an inquest or inquiry, or a Magistrate. Such certificate must be delivered to the Sexton at the Cemetery before the funeral enters the gates.

17. All ordinary meetings of the Managers shall be held on the first Saturday of each quarter, at 4 o’clock, p.m. Special meetings may at any time be called by the Secretary.

18. The Managers reserve the right to make any alterations from time to time in these charges and Regulations.
