                                               Important Notice  

In an effort to follow Rochester Cemetery’s Rules & Regulations, an extensive clean-up will be taking place this summer, 2025. We ask for your understanding and support to complete this task.

Increased decorations and items that have been gathering for a long time have made mowing and caring for the cemetery extremely difficult and even hazardous with some items.

We ask that only two (2) items (no glass) be left at a headstone and their placement must align on the sides of the headstone so that mowing and weed-eating may be completed without interference. No flower restrictions during Memorial Day weekend.

If you are not able to remove additional items, management will use their discretion to discard items.

A copy of our Rules & Regulations may be obtained from clicking the proper tab at the top of this page. See Section 8.

We thank you for your cooperation.
