Planting Regulations

Planting of trees and shrubbery is permitted, but must be approved by the Superintendent. Any planting may be removed if deemed unsightly, a nuisance, a hazard, or if plantings are infringing upon other grave spaces. The cemetery reserves the right to remove any planting at any time it deems necessary.

Flowers are permitted to be planted around headstones. It is suggested a bed be prepared in which to plant them. Flowers planted in the grass will be mowed over when the grass becomes overgrown.

Planting of flowers and use of mulch over entire grave space is permitted for one year after an interment only. Seeding of graves will be done in the spring one year after the interment.

Grave blankets and wreaths are permitted from November 30 to March 15. Any decorations left on graves after March 15 will be removed and disposed of by Cemetery Personnel. Plastic decorations are not allowed and will be disposed of.
