Cemetery Rules & Info

In order to keep our cemetery in good condition, and to avoid rising costs of upkeep, the church and cemetery need to enforce the following rules:  No flowers or other decorations on ground in mowing season. No glass containers, no alcohol should be left on graves, or consumed on church or cemetery property. Wreaths, flowers and decorations on headstones and surrounding area will be removed when out of season or discolored. No planting of flowers or other plants around or near headstones; no gardens. Headstones and footstones must be made of permanent material (stone); no wooden materials or anything degradable may be used. Any headstone, footstone or other permanent remembrance must be authorized by the church/cemetery authorities before placement to determine proper placement and must be of good taste. No more than 3 burials per individual lot (that can include 1 casket and 2 urns, or 3 urns). We do not permit 2 caskets in one lot. All casket burials must be in an outer container (grave liner or vault). No urns or ashes can be buried or scattered without permission of the church/cemetery. The church and cemetery is not responsible for thefts of flowers or other decorations from the cemetery. We strongly advise that expensive items are not left on the grounds, because they are unattended. Any damage done to headstones or footstones is the responsibility of the family (often covered by homeowners’ insurance), not the church or cemetery. (Damage includes any wear from weather, age, or vandalism.) We urge you to provide a permanent marker for your loved one as soon as possible after burial. Temporary markers will be removed for mowing purposes. The church/cemetery reserves the right to make and revise any decisions about the cemetery. When lots are purchased, it does not mean that an individual or family owns the property, but that they are buying the right of burial only, under the established guidelines of the church/cemetery.
