Keeping Our Grounds
Peaceful for All
Washburn-McReavy and Cemeteries provide peaceful spaces for families and visitors to honor and reflect on the lives of loved ones. To maintain these sacred grounds and ensure a respectful, comforting environment for all visitors, we kindly ask that everyone observes the following regulations.
Daily Cemetery Hours are 8:00am - 9:00pm Daily
Funeral Services
Please ensure all funeral attendees have the privacy and respect they deserve. Visitors should be mindful of those attending services and allow them space to reflect undisturbed.
Flower & Decoration Policies
Fresh cut flowers are permitted at any time when placed in approved bronze memorial vases. Wilted flowers will be removed by cemetery staff, who will then invert the vase into the marker. Permanent vases are available for purchase in our office.
Artificial flowers must also be placed in approved vases or cones provided by the cemetery. Unsecured artificial flowers pose safety hazards and can damage markers and equipment; therefore, they will be removed by cemetery staff.
Flags may accompany floral bouquets in bronze vases, but they will be removed along with the flowers once wilted.
Potted plants are permitted exclusively during the weeks of Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day, and Easter. They will be removed the week following each occasion.
For everyone's safety and the beauty of the cemetery, items such as shepherd hooks, wind chimes, plastic decorations, solar lights, balloons, and birdhouses are not allowed at any time. All unauthorized decorations will be immediately removed. We strongly recommend against placing items of monetary value or sentimental treasures, as the cemetery cannot be responsible for their loss or theft.
