Commemorative items are not allowed on the turf from April 1 to October 31, and are never allowed on columbarium niches, vessels, scattering gardens, trees or benches.
This includes stickers, artificial flowers, stuffed articles, etc. Glass items such as vases, solar lights, or jars are not permitted in the cemetery at any time.
A clean turf area allows staff to maintain Hillside Cemetery to the high standards our community has come to expect. All commemorative items found on the turf during the summer season or at any time on columbarium niches, vessels, scattering gardens, trees or benches, will be removed and stored for thirty days. Please contact the cemetery office to retrieve these commemorative items. Items placed in approved flowerbeds will not be removed.
Temporary grave markers will be removed after 12 months from the date of the interment.
