A Christian
Cemetery
is a special place of memory, prayer, and reflection for the living. We
can also described it as a "Resurrection Garden," where the living await
the Resurrection. The Faithful take care of their cemetery with dignity
and respect because it is a Holy Place where religious ceremonies are
held and our Loved Ones buried .
The Cemetery of the Annunciation B.V.M. Church is a sacred ground that
is designated primarily for the burial of our Catholic Parishioners.
Because our space is limited we are not selling to Non-Parishioners at
this time. For supporting Parishioners a limit of two plots may be
bought at one time, per family.
Flower and Plant Arrangements:
We kindly ask everyone to help us keep our cemetery in proper order and
neat appearance. You can truly help us by adopting the following rules
regarding the flowers and arrangements:
1. All flowers/plants should be kept in vases that are a part of the
headstone.
2. Flowers and plants should not be placed in front of or behind the
headstone except at the time of burial. These will be removed/rearranged
appropriately within the following week.
3. To show respect to this sacred place of our loved ones, only
religious symbols will be placed or engraved on the headstones. Regular
mowing and trimming is being taken care of by our contract maintenance
worker, but, please remember that the cleaning of the individual grave
is still the family responsibility. Old artificial flowers are discarded
periodically, especially for All Souls & Saints Day and Easter.
