Mt.
Carmel Cemetery Rules
Mt.
Carmel Cemetery,
located at the corner of Maple and Merkey Roads in Manistee, is
hallowed ground and shares with all sacred places regulations to insure
reverence, neatness, and order. Our common responsibility for the
upkeep of our cemetery calls for all to observe these regulations:
* Artificial arrangements are only permitted in an urn or pot aligned with
headstones. Other arrangements, such as wreaths, are only permitted
during winter months, from November 1 to April 15. At all other times they
will be removed.
* No planting of trees or shrubs is allowed on any lot.
* All flower urns, pots, shepherd hooks, and statues must be in line with
markers or monuments. Statues must be of a religious type acceptable to
the Catholic faith.
* Planting of live flowers in the ground is permitted within an area of 14
inches from the grave marker or monument; borders must be within this
area. The watering of live flowers is the responsibility of the family.
* Refuse, such as plastic, cardboard, metal, etc. is to be removed from the
cemetery; whatever refuse you bring to the cemetery, you must take back
with you when you are finished decorating.
* Roller-blading, skateboarding, riding horses, walking dogs or other pets is
not permitted on cemetery property.
