Rules and Regulations
THE ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW ORLEANS AND OUR LADY OF PROMPT SUCCOR REGULATIONS : Our Lady of Prompt Succor and The New Orleans Archdiocesan Cemeteries reserve the right to remove any items attached to the granite tablets or left on the mausoleum floor. We are NOT responsible if you have previously attached items that have caused damage to your granite tablet.
INSCRIPTIONS : Names and designs can be sandblasted into the granite tablet. Crypts must be paid in full before a name is inscribed. This also applies to installing government bronze plaques. VA forms must be signed by cemetery personnel. All lettering font and design sizes in the mausoleum are set and approved by The Archdiocese of N.O. and the OLPS Office.
A PERMIT MUST be obtained for ANY company to do inscriptions.
FLOWERS : We offer the installation of a bronze ring and mausoleum vase on the granite tablet for an additional charge. Only (1) one vase per mausoleum tablet is allowed. Fresh flowers are allowed with water in vases if the family maintains and removes when the flowers have wilted or the flowers will be removed by our cemetery employee. Please NOTE: Fresh Flowers do not last long in the heat of Louisiana, maybe 3-days.
DECORATIONS : Please do not tape anything onto the granite tablets or place stickers on the tablets. The adhesive stains the granite. We offer ceramic Dedo pictures and sandblasted designs for an additional charge. NO decorations (cards, letters, pictures, etc.) are to be attached to the front of any crypt at anytime.
FLOOR AREAS : NO items will be permitted on the floor in the Mausoleum except small potted plants on special holidays or religious occasions and then must be removed within (2) two weeks after the holiday. You are responsible to provide water and disposal of the potted plants. Ladders are NOT allowed in the Mausoleum
GLASS BREAKABLE VASES AND / OR CONTAINTERS :
Any breakable containers and / or vases are not allowed and will be removed immediately. The 30-day grace period does not include breakable items. Please notify your florist prior to ordering any items of the rules and regulations for the Gates of Heaven Mausoleum.
AVAILABILITY OF BURIALS : Availability of re-using the mausoleum crypt will be determined by the size of crypt purchased, the type of casket, and the length of time between burials. At lease one year must elapse to disturb a casket.
If you currently have anything that is not in compliance, you have 30-days to remove it. After 30 days our cemetery sexton will begin removing all items that are not in compliance with the rules of the mausoleum.
Thank you for your cooperation. OLPS Cemetery Office 504-341-9522
