Immanuel’s Evangelical Lutheran Church cemetery is a church cemetery, not a public cemetery. The cemetery is open to the members of our congregation, immediate family members (spouse and dependent children)and those members who have purchased a lot and have since moved away but are still a member of a sister congregation (WELS or ELS).

I. Business:

1. All business pertaining to the cemetery shall be conducted by the Cemetery Board of Directors.  The Board consists of a President, Secretary and Treasurer and is elected by the voting members of the congregation at the annual voters meeting.
2. These rules and regulations can be amended or changed from time to time, if the congregation sees fit to do so, by a two thirds majority vote of the voting members at a quarterly meeting of the voting members.
3. All monies received from the sale of lots shall be put into the cemetery fund and used for cemetery purposes only.
4. Disbursements from the cemetery fund shall be made by order signed by the Cemetery Board President and Secretary.

II. Sale of Lots:

1. The owner of an unused or vacant lot showing sufficient reason, either through removal or dissolution of this congregation, shall have a right to sell his lot back to the congregation only.
2. The Board of Directors shall have the right to buy back lots, as set forth in Section II. A for the original purchase price.

III. Rules and Regulations:

1. The Board of Directors shall see to it that the cemetery is kept clean and have the authority to ask the congregation for contributions toward the upkeep.
