The following regulations have been made in the interest of efficient maintenance of the cemetery during the summer months and to preserve the clean and well cared for appearance of the property.

At any time of the year fresh cut flowers may be placed on burial lots without a vase or in a permanent bronze vase sold by the cemetery or in a reusable plastic vase available from florists or free from the cemetery. Cut flowers and reusable vases will be removed by cemetery staff when the flowers have withered.

During the mowing season, new artificial flowers are only allowed if placed in the permanent bronze vases provided by the cemetery. These vases are specially designed to be moved aside and replaced each time we mow the lawns and can be set flush to ground level when not in use. Artificial flowers not in proper vases or those that are more than six months old, or that become faded, frayed, or unsightly at any time will be removed at the discretion of the cemetery staff.

Twice a year, on April 15 and October 15, as part of a general spring and fall cleanup, all artificial flowers and other objects will be removed from all lots and niches. New flowers may be placed after these dates.

Outside of the mowing season families may place artificial flowers on lots in bronze vases or other containers or on wire stands. However, families placing flowers or wreaths during the winter months do so at their own risk. The cemetery cannot assume responsibility for damage to vases and flowers should they become covered in snow and not visible to our equipment operators when they clear paths for winter burials.

As with all perpetual care lawn cemeteries, planting of trees, shrubs or flowers are not permitted on individual burial lots. The cemetery plants and maintains trees, shrubs, and flowers in designated areas according to the cemetery master plan.

Because of factors beyond our control, such as the weather, we cannot be responsible for the care, loss, or damage of flowers or any other article placed on burial lots.
