Evergreen and Fairview Cemetery Grave Decoration Rules

  SCHEDULED CLEAN UP DAYS ARE:

MARCH 1-15

NOVEMBER 1-15

Grave decoration rules are established for the safety of visitors and staff as well as to retain the beauty of the cemetery.

All grave decorations must be in an approved cemetery vase or within the confines of a monument base. This includes marble and stone vases permanently attached to the marker. 


Inexpensive plastic vases available at Walmart and Hobby Lobby are NOT allowed. In time, they also become hazards to the mowing and trimming crews.



Unauthorized, unsightly or past-season items may be removed by cemetery staff at any time and discarded, even in the vase. American flags that are torn, ragged, faded or touching the ground will also be removed.

THE CEMTERY IS A PUBLIC SPACE. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING OF MONETARY OR SENTIMENTAL VALUE. THE CEMETERY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ITEMS STOLEN FROM THE GRAVES.

PLANTINGS:

Annual flowers may be planted within six inches to the east of the stone. This applies to upright stones only. There is no planting in front of flat stones.



No bushes, trees, vines or perennials may be planted on grave spaces.

No plantings are allowed around flat memorials or in flat memorial sections.

PROHIBITED ITEMS**

Temporary Markers or Home Made Markers-(temporary markers provided by a monument company while a regular marker is on order are allowed)

GLASS, CERAMIC OR CONCRETE VASES OR FIGURINES

WOOD

METAL SCULPTURES

SHEPHERD'S HOOKS

FLAGS OTHER THAN THE AMERICAN FLAG

FENCING OR BORDERS OF ANY KIND

SOLOR LIGHTS

BASKETS

SHELLS

ARBORS & TRELLISES

The remaining historic rose trellises are exempt. No new trellis are allowed.
