City Cemeteries Clean Up March 1 - 15
Evergreen and Fairview cemeteries will be cleaned up from March 1 - 15 by
City staff. Prior to the official clean up, people are encouraged to remove any
items from gravesites and headstones they wish to save.
Prohibited items and unsightly décor will be removed from gravesites in
compliance with published cemetery regulations to preserve the beauty of the
grounds. Such items include baskets, boxes, shells, toys, crockery, glassware,
wreaths, cans and potted plants.
The cemeteries allow artificial flowers in vases or attached to headstones to
remain if they are in urns or other durable containers excluding glass and
pottery.
Occasionally, permissible items are inadvertently removed, so the maintenance
staff reminds citizens to remove any items of value from gravesites. Placement
of flowers or ornamentation must not hinder mowing or other cemetery
maintenance.
For more information, call Evergreen Cemetery at 578-6646, or Fairview Cemetery
at 578-6638. Additional information on the city-owned cemeteries can be found
