As of May 15, 2018; we will begin removing all stones, bricks, etc that are in violation of the cemetery rules for those graves that are no longer tended and distract from the appearance of the cemetery.
Cemeteries noted as “closed” are only available for burial to those with an existing monument in place. Grave lots are no longer sold in these cemeteries.
