7. Burial Grounds

Meetings maintaining their own burial grounds should establish rules and regulations governing interments, the marking of graves, and the keeping of records. The meeting should appoint a committee of two or more Friends to have oversight of the burial grounds and to see to the enforcement of the rules.

In establishing regulations as to gravestones, meetings should be careful to observe the principles of moderation and simplicity.
