St. Mary Cemetery Decoration Guidelines

St. Mary Cemetery Decoration Guidelines

To prepare St. Mary Immaculate Cemetery for the fall and winter season, we are asking if you wish to save your spring/summer arrangements, please remove them on or before Thursday, October 30th, 2024. Any items left will be removed.

For review, here are the guidelines for decoration placement in the cemetery:

  1. Artificial decorations are permitted.
  2. Natural flowers must be in plastic containers, clay pots, or planted in front of the marker. They may NOT exceed the width of the marker or extend farther than 12 inches out in front of the marker.
  3. Shepherd’s hooks are permitted.
  4. Glass containers are NOT permitted.
  5. Plants and decorations are NOT permitted on the sides or in the back of the marker.
  6. Bushes, trees, and evergreens are NOT permitted.
  7. Stones or rocks are NOT permitted on or around the grave.
  8. Outlining of the graves or markers with stripping border, metal frames, or stones is NOT permitted.
  9. Please refrain from placing decorations on or around the Columbarium.
  10. We regret that we cannot guarantee decorations from damage or disappearance.
