1. Are glass vases allowed on my grave site?

No, glass vases are not allowed in the cemetery at all. Vases that are made of a compliant material and are attached to the base of the monument are allowed. Another option is an inverted vase that can be purchased from a local monument company, or a piece of PVC pipe that is flush with the ground to put artificial flowers in.

If you want the items, please remove them before the two week period ends.
