Policies
Every unmarked burial requires a temporary marker. Within twelve months after burial, temporary markers must be replaced with permanent markers.

Every traditional or cremains burial requires one space.

Concrete or stone monuments may range in size as follows:
Minimum: 12" wide X 8" high
Maximum: 60" wide X 36" high

The monument shall be mounted on a concrete or stone base 2 1⁄2” above ground level to facilitate mowing and trimming.

An additional military marker may be placed at the foot of the grave.

A concrete vault is required for all traditional burials.

Flowers may be placed in permanent containers at any time. Permanent containers, statuary or any other objects must be attached to the marker or on top of the permanent base. This is to allow for regular trimming and maintenance.

Memorial Day Flowers:
Flowers may be placed in temporary containers on Wednesday prior to Memorial Day and must be picked up no later than the Monday following Memorial Day. Any items including live plants left after this date will be disposed of.

Trash containers will be provided on Wednesday before Memorial Day and left until cleanup is complete.

No flowers, shrubs or trees may be planted without written permission from the sexton.
