Funeral Schedule

DUE TO THE CONCERNS WITH COVID-19 THE CEMETERY DEPT. HAS UPDATED ITS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE,

THE CEMETERY DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE TO SERVE AS PALLBEARERS.  IT WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL FUNERAL DIRECTORS TO ASSIGN THOSE THAT WILL TRANSPORT A CASKET FROM THE TRANSPORT VEHICLE TO THE PLOT AND PLACEMENT ON THE LOWERING DEVICE.

A MAXIMUM OF 10 FAMILY MEMBERS  WILL BE ALLOWED TO GATHER AT THE GRAVESIDE AT ONE TIME.  IT WILL BE INCUMBENT OF FUNERAL DIRECTORS TO INFORM CLIENTS OF THIS POLICY AND TO HELP IN ITS ENFORCEMENT.  THE CEMETERY DEPARTMENT WILL NOT RESTRICT PEOPLE VIEWING INTERNMENTS FROM THEIR VEHICLE.  THE CASKET WILL NOT BE LOWERED UNTIL ALL VISITORS HAVE LEFT THE GRAVESIDE.

WE UNDERSTAND THESE CHANGES WILL BE DIFFICULT, BUT WE APPRECIATE YOUR COOPERATION WITH THE FOREGOING INSTRUCTIONS.

THE CEMETERY DEPARTMENT WILL BE REMOVING FROM LOTS AND GRAVES ALL WREATHS, BASKETS, AND POTTED PLANTS OR ANYTHING THAT WILL INTERFERE WITH THE PROPER SPRING MAINTENANCE.  THIS WILL TAKE PLACE ON OR BEFORE THE 15TH OF MARCH 2020 AT ALL CITY OWNED CEMETERIES.  PER THE SUPERINTENDENT OF CEMETERIES.
