"Perpetual Care" means all general work necessary to keep the property in a presentable condition at all times. This includes cutting the grass, seeding or sodding of graves, replacement and pruning of shrubs and trees, and repair and maintenance of the enclosures, building, drives and walks.

The cemetery requirements are that it has to be a flat, bronze marker installed on a granite base. The only exception is in the newly developed area, "Garden of Reflections" where there is now an option between flat bronze or flat granite markers. You do not have to purchase from us, but if it is purchased from an outside provider, there is a form that needs to be completed and a fee to be paid to the cemetery depending on the size of the marker.
As long as there is a vase with your marker, a flower or anything that will fit inside the vase is acceptable. Nothing can be placed on the grave marker itself (such as decorations, figurines, etc). All grave markers are installed so that when our staff are cutting grass, the mowers can pass over the top of them for more efficient results. When there are decorations or objects there, it causes difficulty and we can not be responsible for those items.

This area of a cemetery offers the peacefulness of a serene garden where family and friends can come and reflect.
