Cemetery Guidelines Updated

1) Between May 1 and October 1, one pot of flowers will be permitted per lot.  All pots must be placed on the top of the ground and be 10-12 inches in diameter.  **One 6” pot is allowed near the Niches but must be placed on the side of the Niche not in the front or on the top.  Pots not removed by October 1 will be removed and disposed of by cemetery personnel.

2) Artificial decorations mounted on upright supports made of wire, wood or plastic that stand above the ground, are not permitted except for wreaths which are permitted only between December 1 and March 1.  After such time, if not removed by the family, they are subject to removal by cemetery personnel.

3) Cut flowers may be placed in approved metal containers, however glass containers are never permitted.  Decorations must be placed close to the monument so that visitors do not trip over them.

4) No permanent urns shall be placed on any lot consisting of less than 2 graves.  A lot of at least 4 graves is required for 2 urns.

5) In ground planting (trees, shrubs, plants, annuals), shells, chips and gravel are not permitted.  We acknowledge in the older sections some plantings are grandfathered.  However, if they are not maintained, the cemetery has the right to remove them.

6) Due to possible safety hazards, no chairs, benches, trellises, fences, toys, glass, plastic or metal ornaments, statues or votive lights are permitted.

7) The American Legion has placed a flagpole and Veterans memorial at the cemetery entrance area.  They hold their ceremonies at their memorial.  American flags may be placed on a veteran’s grave 24 hours prior to and removed within 48 hours of the following days: Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4th and Veterans Day.

8) The cemetery reserves the right to remove decorations that have deteriorated, along with decorations that do not conform to these guidelines.
