Decorations/Shrubbery/Flowers

Some families have chosen to have special landscaping installed on their lot. In that event, the family must assume responsibility for its maintenance. In planning their landscaping, families are asked to choose shrubbery that will not grow taller than their headstone or expand to cover the headstone. Plants that tolerate drought should be selected. The Cemetery Committee reserves the right to have plants and decorations removed if they become unsightly. Cost of removal will be charged to the family.

Some families desire to add other plantings such as a tree, a bench or to install other architectural feature to their site. Please consult with either the Chairman of Sales, or the Chairman of the Maintenance Committee of the synagogue before making any additions to the site. All decisions related to planting of trees and the addition of major architectural additions must be coordinated with the Cemetery Committee and with Elmwood.
