Why must all decorations be removed from the graves during certain times of the year?
Four times a year, always on the same dates (see dates below), the city requests the removal of all grave decorations. This allows us the time to do any necessary construction-type maintenance and to thoroughly clean the cemetery to provide the most attractive atmosphere possible. The days are: the first Monday in February, the second Monday following Easter, the first Monday following Memorial Day and the first Monday in October.
