Oakwood Cemetery cleanup set for March 1

Wed, 02/22/2017 - 3:14 pm

The Oakwood Cemetery Association will begin its annual spring cleanup Wednesday March 1. Easter is April 16, and it is always the goal of the association to have the work completed by that time. As always, the association appreciates help with the project as it prepares for mowing, cleaning, trimming and other maintenance.

Association members ask cemetery visitors to check their burial spaces and remove any misplaced or unsightly flowers and any remaining Christmas arrangements. Items placed on the ground must be removed so that the necessary work can be done. These items include but are not limited to flowers, easels and mementos.

Persons wishing to keep their flowers or other items should remove them by Wednesday, March 1. At that time, misplaced and unsightly flowers, items on the ground and any prohibited items will have to be removed by the cemetery caretakers. For details about what is or is not acceptable, see the policy posted inside the cemetery or obtain a copy from Coker Funeral Home.

Members of the Oakwood Cemetery Association wished to thank in advance all those who help with the cleanup effort.
