Thanks Mark for the reply.
I understand completely. I believe some of the cemeteries are mowed with
large equipment and barely have room to maneuver through the rows. I have
seen some of the tablet stones moved 2" from being hit. Makes me sick.
Thanks again for the information.
I will talk again with the Trustee.

I think Kyle Conrad could probably explain the business liability insurance
aspect of this better than me.
As best as I can explain it would hypothetically go like this.-
A twp trustee contracts XYZ company or mowing contractor to mow the cemetery
for 2005-2006.
The company or contractor would have business liability insurance(this is a
must for a business and a copy of the policy should be required by the twp
trustee)
The company or contractor mows the cemetery and snaps off a tablet stone at
some point.
The twp trustee holds the company or contractor liable for the damage and
repair of the stone since this is property of the twp that has been damaged.
The contractor or company then will probably say "we didn't do that,some
kids came in and did that".
The contractor files a claim with the insurance company from which they
purchased a policy, or compensates the twp if no claim is filed.
The twp trustee may want to reconsider the mowing company for the next
season.
Ever see a 9 mph ZTR mower hit a stone in a cemetery?...its not a pretty
sight.

Thanks for the reply, Mark:
I am sure that this person has as his employer is a business. But....that
doesn't stop the damage. Wouldn't them be liable the same as anyone doing
damage under the Indiana laws? I am pretty dense on this, but seems like
they would be.

I think the point Helen was trying to make was that someone that is
contracted to work in a twp cemetery,(such as mowing the grass), should
have
business liability insurance that protects the assests of the township if
that contractor should break a stone while mowing.
