Attention all Visitors of Mt. Pleasant Cemetery

This notice is to inform all visitors that on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28, 2012, all entrances to the cemetery will be closed to motor vehicles at 5am.  The gates will open again around 12pm.  This is done to allow the parade to enter the cemetery without motor vehicle traffic.  

The cemetery workers will be removing all decorations and plants from the graves beginning Monday, June 11, 2012.  

Please be reminded that there is no planting of flowers or shrubs in the newer section or the flat marker section.  Artificial flowers are not to be placed in the ground.  Borders and/or fencing are not allowed nor are shepard hooks, solar lights or candles.  We discourage visitors from putting anything of sentimental and expensive value on the gravesite due to vandalism or theft.

Please view the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery Rules and Regulations and the Decoration Policy.
If you have any questions please call Jean Smith at 781-316-3276.

Thank you and have a safe holiday weekend.
