St. Thomas Cemetery Guidelines



In the spirit of maintaining the sacred nature and dignity of the St. Thomas Lutheran Cemetery, the following guidelines should be observed. We ask for your understanding.

1. Permitted
Planting in approved beds up to one foot in front of a memorial. The family must maintain the weeding of the planting during the growing season or planting may be removed if it becomes unsightly.

Artificial flowers may be placed in approved permanent vases, in an approved planting bed (one arrangement per grave space), on an upright memorial and the arrangement must be secured.


2. Not Permitted
Planting or decorating during the general cemetery cleanup period of April 1 through April 15 other than Easter decorations.

Any additional shrubs, trees or bushes.

Anything that presents a safety hazard, such as borders, marble chips, fencing, wire, toys, glass, etc. Those already in place must be removed.

Flowers or objects that are unsightly or detract from the spiritual setting of a Christian cemetery.

Pets, trail vehicles, littering, loitering.

3. Regrettably, we cannot be responsible for anything placed at the gravesite.

4. Those wishing to save plants or decorations in the Fall should do so by October 15. After this date, the caretaker will do a Fall cleanup.

Thank you for your cooperation.
