Hillsdale Cemetery “A place of remembrance.”

April 10th, 2020

Dear Friends of Hillsdale Cemetery,

Over the last year the cemetery has been well cared for. The lawn and surrounding grounds continue to be well kept, providing a beautiful place to visit, reflect and remember your departed loved ones.

Once again, we would like to thank all who faithfully continue contributing yearly dues, which are the only source of funds for maintenance and improvements of the grounds. The bulk of expense is for lawn care, especially in the spring and summer season, so please contribute as soon as possible.

Hillsdale is a non-endowment, community cemetery association. Plots are $500.00 and annual dues are $25.00 however we encourage and appreciate larger gifts if possible. Also, we encourage anyone who has an affiliation to the cemetery to give such as friends or other family members.

HOW CAN I HELP – “What can I do?”

Beautify your loved one’s headstone – sweep, trim, clean and remove any containers or wilted flowers.

• Pick up and dispose of limbs, windfall or other debris.
• Pay dues and encourage those in your family to do the same.
• Send names and addresses of friends and family who would like to be included in the newsletter and participate in contributing dues next year. This allows us to update our mailing list.

Hillsdale’s policies/ Did you know?

A couple of helpful and interesting policies: Individual plots and headstones are the property and responsibility of the owner/family. Jars and glass containers may not be used for flower placement. Trees and shrubs are not to be planted on plots. Graveside services are free of charge.

2020 Memorial Day Service – Monday, May 25th at 11:30 a.m. Note: The American Legion conducts other services prior to the service at Hillsdale. This service may be 30 to 45 minutes late as they conduct 3 services prior to visiting Hillsdale.
