1. What if I need information or assistance during the Memorial Day holiday?

Our staff will work during the three-day weekend and is available to assist you.

2. Why must all decorations be removed from the graves during certain times of the year?

Four times a year, always on the same dates (see dates below), the city requests the removal of all grave decorations. This allows us the time to do any necessary construction-type maintenance and to thoroughly clean the cemetery to provide the most attractive atmosphere possible.

The days are: the first Monday in February, the second Monday following Easter, the first Monday following Memorial Day, and the first Monday in October.

3. What assurance do I have that the grave sites will always be maintained?

As a city owned cemetery, a perpetual fund exists for the purpose of on-going cemetery upkeep and maintenance.

4. How deep are the graves dug?

Contrary to common belief, graves are only 4-feet deep and are 18 inches apart.
