Cemetary Rules and Regulations
General Rules:
The township is not responsible for any items left in the cemeteries or on the graves. Prior to placement of headstones or markers, please contact one of the Township Trustees.
Hours of Operation:
Each cemetery is open to the public for visitation from sunrise to sunset daily.
Flowers and Flower Containers:
Fresh cut flowers may be placed on the graves throughout the year.
Potted Plants:
Potted plants are only permitted on Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Memorial Day. They will remain on the graves until the next mowing cycle. Plants will not be held in storage, nor will the township be held responsible. We, therefore, ask the families to pick them up if they want to keep them.
Unauthorized Decorations:
Breakable items of any kind
Planting of trees, shrubs or rosebushes on or near graves is not permitted
Crushed stone or wood chips are not permitted
No planting full length of graves is allowed
Unauthorized items will be removed and disposed of by township personnel
If in doubt an item is authorized, contact one of the Township Trustees
Removal of Decorations:
The cemeteries will be thoroughly cleaned of all items for the mowing cycle prior to Memorial Day and before the last mowing cycle (approximately November 1st) of each year. Township personnel will remove and discard flowers, wreathes, emblems, and baskets which have become withered, faded or unsightly. All artificial flowers or items removed from graves will be disposed of immediately.
Cooperation:
We thank you for your cooperation in helping us enhance the perpetuity and beauty of the cemetery.
