Cemetery Care

We wanted to share some helpful reminders that will promote good stewardship of the cemetery for all its residents and visitors. These are sacred grounds and shall be maintained in a way that does not disrupt the peacefulness and beauty for the families.

  • Before you begin any work, get your burial and monument permits.
  • Burial vaults are required.
  • Graves cannot be decorated with solar lights, vinyl coverings, trinkets and sentimental items, gardener's hooks, or the like.
  • Flower displays must be anchored down, all displays must be well-maintained ~ damaged or faded displays must be removed.
  • Glass containers are prohibited.
  • The landscapers will not trim around monuments with excessive displays.
  • Deflated balloons should be removed promptly.

Rules & Regulations can be found at cityofjacksonga.com.
