2025 SAINT ADALBERT CEMETERY FLOWERS AND HOLIDAY DECORATION SCHEDULE
November 1st– March 15th: Winter wreaths and other artificial decorations are permitted. All decorations, including wooden crosses, should not exceed 36” in height.
March 16th-October 31st: Only fresh flowers in proper bouquet holders are permitted during the cutting season from March 16th to October 31st. Allowable flower vases are available to purchase through the office. Wilted flowers are removed every Tuesday so that we have three days to cut the grass without as many obstacles. Artificial flowers, potted flowers or decorations are not permitted during the cutting season because of the danger to the mowing equipment, but more importantly because of the danger to the workers. There are usually wires or other hard materials with artificial decorations that can cause serious injury. The same is true when a glass jar is used to put flowers on the grave. These will be removed immediately. All decorations that have been removed will be saved for a 30-day period. If your decoration has been removed and you are interested in picking it up, please contact Darlene Heigl at 440-234-6830. All decorations that have not been claimed after 30 days, will be donated.
