Fall Cleanup Date Approaching at Marshfield Cemetery

MARSHFIELD, WI (OnFocus) – The annual fall clean-up for Hillside, Gate of Heaven, and Immanuel Lutheran Cemeteries in Marshfield is approaching.

All decorations, containers, shepherd hooks, solar lights, and other adornments at Hillside Cemetery must be removed by October 1st for fall clean-up.  Items affixed to headstones may stay (i.e., grave saddles, monument-mounted vases), but any loose trinkets or items stuck in the ground around the stone must be removed.  Staff will discard any remaining items beginning October 1st.

It is strongly encouraged that any items/decorations of great monetary or emotional value be protected in a safe place outside of the public cemetery grounds where they cannot be lost, stolen, damaged or removed for any reason.
