Flag Policy

Recognizing that it is desirable to display the United States Flag or other National Flags on gravesites and mausoleum sites, and to ensure that the flags are accorded the respect which they deserve, the following policy is provided:

• Graves may be decorated on the day preceding a Federal or National holiday. These flags will be removed on the day following said holiday. Flags placed on gravesites at any other time will be removed the following day.
• When flags are placed on a gravesite, care must be exercised so the flag is placed in such a manner that the flag does not rest on anything such as shrubbery, monuments, etc.
• Flags placed at the mausoleum may only be displayed in authorized vases attached to the door of crypt or niche. Removal of flags will be as stated above.
• Flags that are removed by cemetery personnel will be disposed of in accordance with guidelines established by public law and custom.

This policy is intended to guarantee a dignified display of the flag. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
