Burials: Floral pieces are left on the grave for 48 hours after a burial. The flowers are wilted by this time and it becomes a nest for animals if left any longer. There is no regulation governing the number of floral decorations brought to the cemetery at the time of interment.

Entombments:Three floral pieces permitted outside of the building. Bouquets will be removed and discarded at the end of each work day.

Please make sure to label your decoration(s) with the deceased name and location.

We hope you can understand our position in establishing these guidelines. They are not of our personal choice but an absolute necessity in maintaining safe working conditions and the overall beauty of our Catholic Cemeteries.

For more information please refer to our Rules & Regulations.

• Slippery surfaces – Our cemeteries contain polished granite markers that are flush with the ground. Granite surfaces are slippery when exposed to rain, ice, frost, snow, and grass clippings. Please watch your step and walk on established grass only.
• Roadside visitation – To avoid potential injury when ground is snow covered, please limit your visits to roadside only.
• Concealed hazards — Snow or grass clippings can conceal walking hazards such as: raised markers, uneven surfaces, ground depressions, and decorations. Please watch your step.
• Exercise caution — Uneven ground and settling soil around gravesites can create walking hazards throughout the cemetery.
• Sinking hazards — Rain can create muddy conditions around gravesites that will not support a person’s weight. Avoid puddled areas or ground depressions to prevent injury.
