Cemetery spring clean-up is done every year in order to maintain the appearance of our cemetery and ensure the safety of visitors and employees.  

This clean up includes: litter control, seeding and leveling of interment sites, and removing all non-approved memorabilia throughout the cemetery that do not meet the requirements of the Cemetery By-law 26-84.  This bylaw states:

18.   No person shall: 
e.     place or deposit any glass encased wreath or any stand, holder, vase,
        receptacle, jar, bottle, or pot made of glass on any lot;  

• We ask that family members clear the area around your family burial plot(s) to facilitate ongoing maintenance during the spring season.
• Collected items, other than perishable or deteriorated items, will be stored if not claimed, by mid-June each year.

Thank you for your cooperation! It is greatly appreciated.
