Fall Clean Up

October – December
Anything of Value Should Be Removed
The Equipment used can Damage or Misplace Small Items

The process and equipment used in order to remove leaves from all lots in the cemetery can damage or misplace small items. As the high velocity blowers remove leaves they will inadvertantly remove items from the monuments. Every effort will be made to recover anything moved from the monuments. They will returned to the proper location or saved in the garage. Still, the best way to avoid the loss of any items, is to remove these items promptly. Clean up is usually complete by mid-December.
