Visiting a cemetery is a meaningful way to honor loved ones, but it's important to follow proper etiquette to ensure respect for all. Here are some key tips:

1. Drive with Care
Maintain a slow speed, stay on designated roadways, and be vigilant for pedestrians.

2. Respect Graves and Monuments
Avoid touching or stepping on headstones and never remove items left by others.

3. Be Considerate of Other Mourners
Keep noise levels low, silence your phone, and give others space to grieve privately.

4. Supervise Children and Pets
Ensure children understand the importance of respect, and keep pets leashed, cleaning up after them.

5. Follow Cemetery Rules
Observe posted regulations and adhere to visiting hours.

6. Clean Up After Yourself
Dispose of any trash properly to maintain the cemetery's serenity.

sometimes traditions need to reappear to remind us how beautiful and important they are. This is the way my grandparents would light the Funeral Home every year from Thanksgiving to Christmas. We would put the wreath on the door officially on their anniversary on December 4.
