Rules & Regulations

To ensure the safety & beauty of Glendale Cemetery

There are four ways in which decorations are usually removed from the cemetery grounds

Regular Maintenance

Items that are unsightly are removed each week during the growing season.

General Cemetery Clean-Up

All decorations are removed from graves and private mausoleums each year on January 15, the Monday following Easter Monday, June 21 [the first day of Summer], and November 16. This is done to ensure a thorough cleaning of the properties. Notifications of these clean-up times are posted at the entrances of the cemetery.

Due to the volume of decorations being removed, it is impossible to make provision to claim items after they have been removed. Therefore, should families desire to retain items, they must be removed prior to the scheduled clean-up dates.

Gold sun rays shine down on Glendale Cemetery's grounds.

Decorations not Complying with Rules

Cemetery employees work in the various sections of the cemetery on a regular basis. As part of their responsibilities, they maintain the beauty and safety of the cemetery.

As instructed by the Cemetery Rules & Regulations, to ensure their safety, and the safety of all who visit the cemetery, they are expected to remove decorations which are not in compliance.

Wind & Theft

Decorations may also be removed by either of these causes. As it is impossible for employees to be everywhere at all times, the cemetery cannot assume liability for decorations. When items are blown about, the grounds crew has no choice but to dispose of them as replacement at specific sites is not possible.

Easy access and easy to locate family.
