Cemetery Rules

Rules for Management and Care of Grave Sites.

• No trees or shrubs may be planted on any grave or lot.
• All memorial flowers, plants, urns, containers, and solar lighting must be within 18 inches of the headstone or monument.
• Shepard's hooks may not exceed 3 (three) feet in height and plants hanging from them are to be facing the headstone.
• If a gravesite is found to be unkept and deemed a deterrent, the lot owner will be notified and a plan put in place to restore it to within guidelines.
• Inappropriate memorial items placed at a gravesite will be removed immediately.

The goal of the Kirkland Cemetery Board Members is to maintain a well-groomed and dignified final resting place for the families that have chosen to be buried here.
