Gravesite/Landscaping Information

Artificial flowers can be placed from November 15 to March 15. Owners should pick up wreaths and mementos at the beginning of the mowing season. They will be kept in storage for one month after which they will then be sent to Children's Hospital. Cut flowers, wreaths, and floral offerings may be placed on graves but may be removed by the caretaker when their condition is considered by the staff member to be detrimental to the beauty of the cemetery.
