Spring cleanup scheduled at Bloomington’s Rose Hill and White Oak Cemeteries

BLOOMINGTON – Parks and Recreation will conduct routine spring cleanups as weather permits of Rose Hill Cemetery, 1100 West Fourth Street, and White Oak Cemetery, 1200 West Seventh Street, beginning in late March.

Decorative items, including flags, flowers, and figurines that are damaged, broken, faded, out of season, or do not meet grave decoration guidelines will be disposed of. Breakable items, such as glass or ceramic, will also be removed, along with items attached to monuments in vases or saddles.

Shepherd’s hooks are not permitted at either of the city-owned cemeteries. All hooks and hanging items will be removed from grave sites and disposed of.
