Here are 3 important items to avoid placing on or near resting places:

🍭 Food and candy: When left on metal/stone, the oil and dye in consumables can stain memorial tributes.

🏺 Breakable objects: Fragile decorations can be dislodged by wind, wildlife, and other factors. When they break, they pose a risk to visitors and our team if caught in landscaping equipment.

🧽Magic sponges, erasers, and scrubbers: These abrasive sponges can scratch stone and cause it to erode over time.
