Annual Fairmount Cemetery Cleanup Is This Thursday

The annual Fairmount Cemetery Cleanup will be this Thursday. During the cleanup, City workers will remove flowers and other items from gravesites so they can clean and trim the cemetery grounds.

Residents who want to preserve items should remove them from gravesites before the end of the day on Wednesday, Jan. 14. They can begin returning the items to the cemetery on Monday, Jan. 19.

Items left at gravesides will be picked up and held for one week so residents can recover them. If items are not recovered, the City will dispose of them beginning Wednesday, Jan. 21.

Lot owners are reminded that, for maintenance purposes, flowers should be placed only to the sides or in cradles on top of monuments.
