City staff at Oak Hill Cemetery work hard to maintain the beauty of the facility. Therefore, we would like to provide the following suggestions.
 

Decorations Placed in or on the Ground
  • Please do not place holiday flowers earlier than 7 days prior to the holiday and remove holiday flowers 7 days after the holiday.
  • Do not leave live floral plants for more than a few days (especially near a roadway).
  • If cemetery patrons wish to keep their decorations, they must be retrieved by June 2nd after which time they will be removed by cemetery staff in order to continue the maintenance cycle.

Flowers in Vases & Saddles
  • Flowers placed in vases that are an integral part of the tombstone and saddles placed on the monuments will not be removed by staff.
  • Artificial arrangements and saddles:
    • Place the name on the bottom of the arrangement. This can be done utilizing tape wrapped around 1 of the under wires. Also be sure to bend the wires underneath to a very tight fit, as wind can move items.
    • These may be tied down and hooked to tent stakes driven into the ground as close to the monument as possible.
Thank you for helping us maintain the cemetery’s beauty.
