Cemetery cleanup set for early April

The annual cleanup at South Lawn, Roscoe, Caldersburg and Oakridge cemeteries will begin in April.

Any flowers, trees or shrubs that have not been maintained to the following specifications by Tuesday, March 31 will be removed:

—Hedges, wooden or iron trellises, posts and chains for the purpose of enclosure, railings, steps, boxing, and borders are prohibited.

—The planting of flowers or shrubs so they overhang and cause dripping upon and discoloration of stones relieves the cemetery of any responsibility for keeping the stones clean, and the superintendent may remove such planting without further notice.

—If any tree or shrub standing on any lot shall, by means of its roots, branches or otherwise, become detrimental, dangerous or inconvenient to adjacent lots or avenues; if it becomes unsightly; or for any other reason its removal shall be deemed necessary, the superintendent shall have the right, and it shall be his duty, to remove such a tree, shrub or any part thereof, as in his judgment may seem best.

Cemetery cleanup will start Monday, April 6 and end Friday, April 10. Remove all decorations you would like to keep before April 6. You may begin decorating after April 10.
