Parks crews have begun their annual spring maintenance at Mountain View Cemetery. Per the Cemeteries Bylaw, no person may place any items, other than solar lights, on, around, or above a grave, except:
- fresh flowers and fresh wreaths may be placed on or above a grave from March 1 thought September, and
- artificial flowers and wreaths may be placed on or above a grave from October 1 through February.
Other items, trinkets, or decorations left at grave sites will be removed by staff. Items removed by staff will be placed behind the building at the cemetery for pick up. Items are stored on-site behind the cemetery building for about one month before disposing. We understand these items are left with love, but they can cause operational and maintenance issues and affect the space’s appearance.
Thank you for helping us care for this special place.
