Spring is just around the corner! To comply with cemetery guidelines, arrangements should be placed on monuments (not on the ground) from March 15 through November 15 to facilitate grounds maintenance. Flowers of any type will be removed when they become unsightly or the particular holiday season ends. Decorations, containers, wire frames, etc., currently on the ground that you want to reuse must be removed by March 15. Items remaining on the grounds after that date will be discarded by the Cemetery Committee during routine maintenance prior to Easter. Remember, memorials with glass containers are prohibited at gravesites and are subject to immediate removal. St. George and St. Francis Xavier cemeteries still allow solar lights and metal staffs/flags as long as they are placed as close to the monument as possible to facilitate mowing. Thank you for complying with the guidelines established by The Catholic Cemeteries.
