Good Morning Everyone,

FOCV wants to thank all of the volunteers throughout the year that help us maintain the Cedar View Cemetery. Especially the volunteers from St. Leo's Church and Bennett Property and Design who recently helped us clear leaves and debris.

Good Morning Everyone! Take a look at some of the great work being done at Cedar View Cemetery! These pictures are the showing the excellent work of Flynn's Tree Service of Middletown.

Hello Friends! Just wanted to share some pictures from the cemetery. These are photos from the group Wreaths Across America. Wreaths were placed by the Veterans Group of Brookdale Community College. During this process, they place the wreath on the grave and then say the name of the Veteran. FOCV wants to thank Wreaths Across America and the Veterans Group of Brookdale Community College for their time and support.
