§ 10-36. Monument and marker size.

The table in this section is for monument and marker sizing and shall be followed by all companies and dealers who deliver monuments and markers to the cemetery. Any monument or marker delivered to the cemetery with oversized dimensions shall be unacceptable and subject to immediate removal. However, because monumental stone is a natural product and is difficult to conform to absolute dimensions and fabrications, a tolerance of one-half inch is allowable for specific dimensions. This tolerance applies to both the base and the die. The following table contains dimensions (height includes both base and die) for the maximum memorial sizes:

Type of Memorial	Length (inches)	Width (inches)	Height
Flush marker	28	14	4 inches (below the surface)
Bevel marker	28	14	8 inches
Slant marker	28	14	18 inches
Double marker	48	14	Height as for single marker
Babyland marker	16	8	8 inches
Monument	32	14	30 inches
Double monument	60	14	48 inches
Family monument	Must be approved by superintendent of cemeteries
