City of Union Cemetery

The City of Union will conduct a general clean - up of the Union City Cemeteries, located on North Washington Ave and Riverview Drive from May 7-11, 2018.  If you have placed any items on the ground at the cemetery that you wish to preserve, please remove the item(s) by 6:00 a.m. May 7th. Items placed at the cemetery after 4:30 p.m. on May 11th will not be disturbed throughout the summer, as long as they do not interfere with mowing.

Please note there are a lot of items being placed on the ground around the headstones that are moving downward on the gravesites that is interfering with the mowing and these items will be removed if not picked up prior to May 7, 2018 at 6:00 a.m. No landscaping is permitted. Traditional floral arrangements placed close to the headstone are permitted. Shepherd hooks, and like ornaments, and solar lights are becoming mowing hazards and therefore will be removed.

A reminder that there are rules governing placement of memorials at gravesites in the cemetery that interfere with mowing and maintenance of the cemetery.  These rules are posted at each entrance to the cemetery.  In an effort to keep the cemetery looking as nice as possible, we request your full cooperation on this matter.
