Just wanted to update everyone that the old cemetery/east side of Olentangy River is back open. The roads south of the main entrance however are still closed. That is where most of the trees were damaged. We are still cleaning up the area. It is going to take some time to get all of them cut up and removed. Once that happens we will be able to assess the damage if any to memorials surrounding these trees.

Thank you for being patient with us.

Sincerely,

Jimmie J. Blevins

Due to Tuesday's storms, we are working hard to get the East side/Old cemetery re-opened. It is currently closed and we have large dumpsters and our crew is working on getting roadways opened up again. We will give an update once we have roads cleared. Once we get trees cut up and limbs removed from areas we will be able to access the damage and see what is needed.
Thanks for your patience.
There are some trees and limbs in the west side/New cemetery as well that we are working on too.

We were without power most of Tuesday and all day Wednesday.

The Honor guard, Martin Cabrera for singing the National Anthem..
I want to thank all the staff who came in and made this possible. I could not have done it without you.
Thank you to Rich Baker one of our board members for attending and taking photos.

Just a friendly reminder for visitors this weekend. The speed limit in the cemetery is 15 mph and we have put up temporary stops signs in some of the busy intersections just use extreme caution while visiting. This is our busiest time of the year for visitors.
I also want to remind everyone that in the new cemetery the water is still down. We had a water break under the roadway.
There is water available at the main office with buckets if needed. I know this is a big inconvenience for everyone.
I promise we are working on getting it repaired.
Sincerely

Just want to clarify our hours. Some online searching says we are only open 9 to 4 but that is the office hours.
The cemetery grounds hours are Dawn to Dusk.
The offiice hours are M -F 9 am to 4 pm, Saturday 9 am to 1 pm and closed Sunday.
With appointments only we now can honor evening appointments up to 6 pm weekdays and up to 4 pm Saturdays for people who are not able to get in during normal business hours.
We however do not do walk ins after normal business hours. Appointments must be made in advance to have staff available.
