In order to help maintain and keep the cemetery clean, please adhere to the following guidelines. This cemetery is maintained strictly by donations, sales of plots, and by the work of volunteers.

All burials require a vault. 

All headstones must be upright granite or level on the ground.

Do not install borders of any kind around graves. Do not put rocks or gravel on the graves as this interferes with mowing and requires extra maintenance. 

No planting of flowers or shrubs, no glass containers or ornaments, and no benches or planters allowed on the graves.

During mowing season, which is March 15-October 31, no decorations are permitted on graves except those attached to the headstone. Decorations not attached to the headstone, flowers that are faded, distressed and out of season will be removed. Live flowers will be removed after ten days or when wilted.

Families of deceased are responsible for the maintenance of the headstones. 

Please use provided containers for all trash or take it with you.  

Before opening of graves, contact Sabel Hooper at 423-650-9170.

These rules are effective August 1, 2025.  

Thank you.
