Our Lady of the Magnificat Cemetery was designed to be a truly peaceful place that speaks of prayer and hope in Christ. Over the years the aesthetics of our cemetery has been diminishing due to numerous statues, solar lights, banners, bushes, picture frames, personal memorabilia etc., etc., etc. In addition, these items pose a hazard for lawn maintenance. OLM requires that you remove all items that are not permitted by the OLM Cemetery Regulations. (See cemetery sign for details). Beginning September 1st the cemetery buildings and grounds will be removing any items that are not permitted in our rules and regulations as well as any plantings that are not within 1 foot on 1 side of the monument. Thank you for understanding and restoring the natural beauty of our cemetery.
