All wreaths and flowers must be removed as soon as they are withered and dried. Winter decorations may be placed starting November 1. Due to spring clean-up, all decorations from winter must be removed from graves by March 15, except those in permanent vases. Decorations for holidays can be placed on graves 2 days before and must be removed 5 days after the holiday. For Memorial Day, decorations may be placed 3 days before. Holidays are defined as New Year’s Day, Easter, Mothers’ Day, Memorial Day, Fathers’ Day, Independence Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Also, with winter approaching, remember to turn down your undecorated vases or check the drain hole in the bottom of the vase that is to be left upright. If the drain hole is clogged, the vase will accumulate water, freeze, and possibly damage your vase.

In addition to the glass niches, we offer a wide variety of granite niches or crypts in our Mausoleum, as well as in-ground burial options for either full caskets or cremation urns. Contact the cemetery office for assistance in making a respectful decision that fits with your preferences and needs. Also, remember when you decorate your loved ones’ graves in the Mausoleum, only artificial flowers are allowed.
