Please keep the following in mind:

  • In the evening, deer often enter the cemetery and may eat flowers. To protect your flowers, you may consider applying a deer repellant spray. The cemetery does not provide this service.
  • The cemetery does provide a service to run visiting waterfowl out, as needed, to prevent the mess they often leave behind on graves.
  • While our lawn mowers do not run directly over grave markers, they do go along the edges, so any items placed on a marker may be disturbed and/or damaged.
