Cemetery Hours
The Cemetery is open to the public from Dawn to Dusk
Please Take Notice:
Please remember to pick up any flowers or other memorials from the cemetery before October 1st of each year as our Sexton and his crew do a cemetery clean up in October before the cemetery closes. The cemetery reopens in April.
The Cemetery is not maintained through the winter months when we have snow unless there is a burial scheduled. Please do not try to drive on the cemetery roads in the deep snow and get stuck.
Thank you for your consideration on this. Please be mindful of our Cemetery Ordinance when memorializing the grave sites at the cemetery.
For a complete look at our Cemetery Ordinance, please find the ordinance in the Documents section below.
