The City of Newcastle wants the public to know that a routine cemetery clean-up is scheduled for the last week of March.
A City spokesperson said, “We kindly request that you retrieve any personal items, including flowers in vases, by March 24, 2024, to prevent them from being discarded during the clean-up process.
“Please note that our grounds have specific rules for decorations.
The only items permitted are flowers in vases attached to the monuments or flower arrangements in saddles secured to the top of the monument.
“Any items not adhering to these regulations may be subject to removal during our clean-up event.”
He said the public’s understanding and cooperation play a significant role in maintaining the respectful ambiance of the beloved Newcastle Memorial Gardens.
“We appreciate your continued support in keeping our cemetery a comforting and serene place for everyone,” the spokesperson said.
