Once interment has occurred and the family has left the immediate area, cemetery employees will begin the backfill process.
- Graves are backfilled the same day, by close of business. Cemetery employees will start by backfilling with fill dirt.
- Any flowers left after the service will be placed on the grave along with a temporary name marker.
- Over the next 10 days, cemetery staff will add fill dirt as the grave settles and reseed for turf.
- Depending on the season, location in the cemetery, and wildlife, grass will begin to re-grow in 30 – 120 days.
- If a headstone was removed in order to accommodate a 2nd interment, it will remain in our yard for 30 days in order for the grave to properly settle.
- Once you have ordered a headstone, the monument company will contact our office to schedule installation.
- Inground vases can be placed to the left and right of the headstone and are available for purchase in the cemetery office.
