Fulton Planting ordinance (§ 30-10)
Chapter 30: Cemeteries · Article I. In General
In short: Only the city makes permanent plantings in cemeteries; private plantings need the sexton's discretion, and buying a grave gives no right to plant without written approval.
Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.
Permanent plantings of grasses, shrubs, flowers, etc., in cemeteries are made by the city, and private plantings may be permitted only at the discretion of the sexton. The purchase of the graves does not confer any right to do planting, etc., without the express written approval of the proper officials of the city.
