Gravesite Bouquet Holders
|
|
As you are aware, Catholic Cemeteries have regulations on the
placement of floral decorations at the gravesites. These restrictions
have sometimes resulted in such situations where families place
an improper or a hazardous style floral containers. It is
important to remember that the cemetery does not permit glass, ceramic,
and pin-style floral containers. These items can easily break and or
create a hazardous condition for both cemetery worker and visitors. We
understand that families want to place floral tributes for the
deceased.
In recognizing this desire to remember, Catholic Cemeteries have
provided several floral bouquet holders for placement
program at the grave-sites. Some of the bouquet holders are relatively
inexpensive and are kept in stock at our offices other vases are custom
ordered with a personal memory ring. We are hopeful these vases
will satisfy the visitors’ needs as well as ensure the safety and
aesthetic beauty of the cemetery as a whole.
The cemetery continues to permit planting in the specified areas
in accordance with the established cemetery planting and decorating
regulations and past practices.
If you are interested in purchasing a floral bouquet holder for a
lot, review the gravesite floral bouquet holder information. If
you have any questions regarding this program, please call the cemetery
office.
