Burial lots in Cedar Grove Cemetery must be purchased from the City, with the exception of a family plot already established in the old part of Cedar Grove Cemetery. Any lot purchased can only be sold back to the City at the original purchase price.
Lots
Lots are ten feet by ten feet and accommodate two graves, except for certain lots which the City Manager may designate as ten feet by five feet for a one grave lot. The cost is $500 for each single ten-foot by a five-foot grave lot. The funeral home or mortuary handling the funeral service is responsible for opening and closing the graves, and also for removing and disposing of surplus dirt within 48 hours after the funeral.
Open to the Public
The cemeteries are open to the public between sunrise and sunset daily. Any person found inside the public cemeteries when the cemeteries are not open shall be prosecuted.
