The new Flagpole and planter area that Grant Fitterer rebuilt this summer and the benches donated by his family. We still need to pour some concrete pads to set the benches on by the flagpole area if any volunteers would like to help.

🌿 Kern’s Oak Grove Cemetery – October 2025 Update 🌿

🙏 Thank You
A heartfelt thank you to Grant Fitterer and his fellow scouts for their amazing work this year — stabilizing the bricks around the flagpole, repainting the pole and shed, and planting beautiful new perennials. Your efforts truly brighten our grounds!

We’re also deeply grateful to Al Fitterer for donating two brand-new benches, created through his recycling of plastic bags. These benches are a wonderful gift, giving families and visitors a peaceful place for reflection.

💚 Donations
Annual perpetual maintenance donations are $25 per plot. You can give online (credit/debit, PayPal, Venmo) via the Donate button at kernsoakgrovecemetery.org or mail donations to:

🤝 Volunteering – Summer 2026
We’re inviting families to volunteer a week next summer to help with cemetery care (watering, weeding, trimming, sweeping markers, and more). Tools are provided! If interested, contact Lisa Haman at (507) 382-8793 or [email protected].

Thank you all for your continued support in preserving this special resting place.
