When
attempting to gain permission to visit,
clean and/or restore a cemetery located on
private property, you should always first
obtain permission. To assist in this, it can
be helpful to present to the property owner
a written permission form that will clearly
define the objectives you have in mind,
responsibility for damages to the private
property (including the cemetery) or
injuries occurring while on the land. It is
advised that you should take two copies of
the permission form and have both signed by
the property owner and yourself. A copy
should be presented to the property owner.
