Visiting Rules and Decoration Policies

You may begin placing decorations one week before Memorial Day. Decorations that are not in a footed cemetery basket will be removed beginning June 5. At the end of the season, all decorations must be picked up by owners before September 15. After this date, all remaining items will be removed by cemetery staff for fall clean-up. All floral tributes and their containers are solely the responsibility of, and at the risk of the owner. The Cemetery assumes no liability for decorations placed on graves, crypts, or niches.

We require baskets to have handles and legs. The handles allow workers to safely pick up and move the baskets during mowing and burial operations. The legs raise the basket above the ground to prevent grass kill. From June 5 to September 15, only fresh growing flowers in baskets having handles and legs are allowed on the graves. Artificial flowers or decorations must be placed and securely anchored in a basket that has handles and legs. Any other artificial flowers or decorations will be removed after June 5. Fresh cut flowers may be placed on the grave; they will be removed when they become wilted. Shepherd hooks are not allowed.

For the safety of all visitors and those that maintain the cemetery, please do not place any glass or metal objects on any monument, marker or grave. River rock & other decorative rock are not allowed around markers, or monument bases. Please use pea gravel only. We have pea gravel available at no charge.

Dogs and other pets are not allowed onsite. Service animals are permitted.

The spreading, dumping, or burying cremated remains without the knowledge or consent of the Cemetery staff or appropriate authorities is forbidden and illegal. This is to ensure proper respect for the deceased and to prevent desecration or disturbance of human remains.
