Articles Placed on Lots and Graves

General (6.1): The cemetery is committed to supporting a broad array of religious and ethnic preferences and strives to create a respectful and dignified resting place for the multicultural communities that we serve. Permitted articles must be placed within the designated planting area of the lot or grave, as defined in By-laws 5.2 – 5.8 respectively.

The cemetery reserves the right to regulate the articles placed on lots or graves that pose a threat to the safety of all Interment Rights Holders, visitors to the cemetery and cemetery employees, prevent the cemetery from performing general cemetery operations or are not in keeping with the dignity and decorum of the cemetery. Prohibited articles will be removed regularly and disposed of without notification.

To assist Interment Rights Holders, the following is a non-exhaustive list of common types of articles that are prohibited from being placed on lots or graves within the cemetery:

•    Articles made of hazardous materials such as non-heat resistant glass (excludes glass attached to monuments), ceramics or corrosive metals
•    Loose stones or sharp objects
•    Trellises or arches
•    Chairs or benches
•    Bird feeders
•    Temporary memorials or signage not approved by the cemetery

Please contact the cemetery office for clarification prior to purchasing or placing an article on a grave or lot.
