FLOWER REGULATIONS
Natural flowers are a gift from God and for many
ages have been a symbolic offering in memory of a loved one. The design and
operation of a modern lawn cemetery is based upon the use of natural flowers.
For practical reasons, we must respectfully ask the following rules be
complied with:
 |
Fresh
flowers and greenery are permitted at all times |
|
|
Artificial
flowers and decorations are not permitted, except during the winter months
from November 1st to March 1st. |
The rules in regard to artificial flowers and decorations
may seem somewhat strict, but are intended to protect and enhance the beauty
of Holy Cross and St. Joseph Cemeteries. Your fullest cooperation is appreciated.
|
|
All
due precautions will be taken by the Cemeteries to protect your flowers, but
we cannot assume liability for loss or damage to them. |
|
|
No
glass containers, please! Vases are available at the Cemetery offices. |
MOWING & CLEAN-UP INFO
|
|
Mowing
for the year begins on or around April 1st. We mow every
Wednesday at Holy Cross and every Thursday at St. Joseph. |
|
|
Major
cemetery clean-up, removing all winter decorations, begins on or around
March 1st. |
|
|
All
statues, fresh flower pots, and special items are set in the nearest tree
well, or out of the mower’s way prior to mowing on Wednesday. It is up
to you to replace them. (Statues are the responsibility of the owner. We
cannot assume liability for loss or damage.) |
|
|
When
we remove the artificial flowers, they will be either donated to an
organization or disposed of – depending on their condition. |
|
|
General
clean-up of the mausoleum walls occurs twice a year: before Memorial Day
and before All Souls Day. At that time, all flowers and decorations are
removed and discarded. Please remove your flowers prior to this if you
wish to save them. You may call our office as the holidays approach to
inquire about the specific date. |
