Decoration Cleanup
Decoration Cleanup and Maintenance
Our sacred grounds are maintained on a regular basis throughout the year to preserve our cemeteries and gravesites. We are extremely sensitive of the needs of our visitors and their expression of grief throughout the bereavement process. We are also very mindful of the reverence and beauty of our cemeteries and our staff is responsible for removing items when they become unsightly, withered or if they fail to comply with size and/or material limitations.
Because our cemeteries are open to the public, it is difficult to control activity. We regret that we cannot guarantee items won’t be damaged or disappear. We do our best to keep the grounds and gravesites safe from harm and disruption. We advise not placing any objects of sentimental value.
Please contact your cemetery office with any questions or concerns.
Spring Cleanup (March 15–30)
Grounds are cleaned and all items are removed and disposed to prepare for spring. If you wish to retain your items, it is your responsibility to have them removed before March 15. Please refrain from placing any decorations during the two-week cleanup period.
Fall Cleanup (October 15–30)
Grounds are cleaned and all items are removed and disposed to prepare for fall. All bronze floral vases will be inverted into their ground well to prevent damage to the vase. If you wish to retain your items, it is your responsibility to have them removed before October 15. Please refrain from placing any decorations during the two-week cleanup period.
