- A limit of two shrubs will be permitted on any one lot, and if a monument is erected on the lot, the shrub must be placed on either side of the monument or of the space allocated for the installation of a monument.
- Boarders, hedges, or any type of shrub or flower around any grave or lot and the planting of ivy, barberry, or rose bushes are not allowed in the Greenfield.
- Greenfield reserves the right to remove any tree, shrub, or plant situated in any grave or lot which, by reason of its roots, branches, size, physical location, or otherwise, is deemed by the Director to be detrimental to any adjacent grave or lot, avenue or walk, or which is unsightly, dangerous or inconvenient to pedestrians.

Only fresh-cut flowers, placed in a vase at ground level in the back of the marker will be permitted.
