Clean-Up of Greenwood and Hillside Cemetery - Remove Wanted Items By Sunday, March 31

A general clean-up of Greenwood and Hillside Cemeteries will begin on Monday, April 1, 2024. 

Please remove any flowers or decorations you wish to save by Sunday, March 31, 2024. During clean-up, cemetery personnel will discard any flowers or decorations remaining after March 31, 2024. Flowers and decorations may again be placed after Friday, April 5, 2024.
