Fouts family stating that the foundation does not meet
standards according to City Ordinance #767 and must be
replaced.

urns that have been placed in a headstone. Motion by Lloyd

ashes inside a headstone and the caretaker must be present
for all interments, seconded by Lyle Jones. Motion carried.
