The only type of permanent vase permitted is a bronze vase that
is part of a bronze memorial, a bronze vase and ring, or a granite
vase on a granite monument.
Fresh and artificial flowers are allowed in the permanent vases.
If they are placed in temporary vases, both the vase and the decorations
will be removed when the section is mowed. Fresh flowers and plants
are not permitted in the mausoleum chapel except for committal services.
During the mowing season temporary cones, wreaths, sprays, and
decorations are only permitted if placed in line with the memorial
row.
No glass containers, statuary, ceramics, terra cotta, resin, exposed
wires, toys, balloons, birdhouses, or pinwheels are permitted at
any time.
No plantings are allowed except those planted by cemetery staff.
The cemetery is not responsible for theft or damage to any personnal
property placed on or near interment rights elsewhere in the cemetery.
No coping, curbing, fencing, or borders of any kind, nor any rock,
bark or like material are allowed around lots or memorials.
Scheduled general clean up dates are March 15th-31st, June 15th-30th,
and October 15th-31st. All decorations to be retained should be
removed prior to these times. Graves can be appropriately decorated
after the first of the month following clean up.
During clean up the cemetery staff will remove all decorations
on the ground, all flowers that are out of season, and any decorations
that are inappropriate or unsightly.
Evergreen grave blankets and all holiday decorations may be placed
in late November or December after the fall clean up, once the grass
is dormant.
The cemetery will typically remove all holiday decorations during
the spring-clean up in March. If weather should be unseasonably
warm the cemetery may remove grave blankets earlier to protect the
grass.
One appropriate shepherd hook per grave is allowed.
Please remember that all decoration regulations are zoning
regulations. They exist more to protect the conscientious lot holder
than to hinder him. If there were no regulations, both the cemetery
and the conscientious lot holder would find good efforts useless.
While we all cannot agree completely on decoration rules, the cemetery
has tried to establish the fairest set of rules for all necessities
and enforce them fairly and uniformly on all.
Thank you for your cooperation!
