The city of Warsaw-Oakwood Cemetery is asking that all winter decorations that have been placed in or on the ground at gravesites be removed as soon as possible to allow for maintenance of the cemetery grounds.
According to the Board of Regents rules and regulations, grave blankets should have been removed by Wednesday. Remaining blankets are being removed by cemetery staff and placed near the shop area for owners to claim. Disposal of left over blankets will be on March 13.
All decorations for spring, summer and fall must be placed on the monument’s cement foundation, monument base or on top of the monument. Decorations placed in or on the ground will be removed. For safety reasons, glass vases/decoration are not permitted as well as shepherd’s hooks. To obtain a copy of the rules and regulations, please visit the cemetery office or go online at warsaw.in.gov and use the city of Warsaw official website.
Great appreciation goes out to the family and friends of deceased loved ones for following the cemetery rules and in doing so allows the staff to properly and efficiently care for the cemetery.
