Cemetery patrons have placed plants, cut flowers, potted flowers, artificial flowers and plants, baskets, containers, stands, and other memorabilia around the head stones and sometimes covering the grave site. This makes it impossible to-maintain the grass without removing or damaging the memorabilia. Please remove these items from the grass around the head stones on or before Saturday, May 2. Some grave markers prdvide room on the concrete skirting around the headstones for placing these items that won't conflict with the string trimmers and mowers. We encourage patrons to use these areas only and keep all items well away from the grass. -^$$^%&£ On Monday, May 4,2009 the cemetery crews wilt dispose of all remaining memorabilia not removed from the grass. After we maintain the grass the cemetery will be available for decoration for Mother's Day on Thursday, ,May 7, 2009. Thank You.,:_. .
