Well, it’s that time of year again…
People have been coming to the cemetery to pick up their pot/ decorations to store them away until next year! The last day to be able to do this will be October 17,2022.

The cemetery is underway. Please for mowing reasons, do not plant any shrubs, rose bushes, trees, or flowers in the ground without the permission of the board. I’m sure you will understand how difficult mowing is.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

For love of a bunny, the fountain fundraising moves forward...

The rescue of a domesticated rabbit in Franklin led to an outpouring of donations to the Ouleout Valley Cemetery to repair a historic fountain.

The fountain at the Ouleout Valley Cemetery is in need of repair. We have raised 23% of our goal of $75,000.

"According to McCormack, the original fountain had four cast iron urns and four gargoyles around the base, with two cherubs on the second level holding up the figure of a woman on the top of the fountain. The missing urns and gargoyles will be replaced, as will the statue of the woman. But the cherubs would weigh too much to be put back on the upper base. The statues of the muses Hope and Constance, set to either side of the central plinth, will be refurbished and returned to where they belong."

Thought I would post a reminder..October 15 is the last day to retrieve all your flower pots, Solar lights, and anything else in the Cemetery. Cleanup will start October 16. Thank you for your help

I know when you’re driving in the cemetery, reading the bulletin board is not what your thinking about. The cemetery board added, out of necessity, a new rule.

~One year after internment a permanent headstone is required.

The temporary markers from funeral homes fall apart, and then there is an unmarked grave.

Want to remind everyone, cleanup day for the cemetery is October 15. Please make sure any shepherds hooks, solar lights, wind chimes or any other decorations you don’t forget. Thank you.
