Dear Editor:
What is a cemetery? When you Google the word cemetery, the description is: A designated place where the remains of people who have died are laid to rest in specific, identifiable burial sites.
Cemeteries are widely regarded as sacred places that are entrusted with respectfully caring for deceased individuals. Two words stand out – sacred and respectfully.
The Cemetery Board, the maintenance crew, all the volunteers that water flowers, the local companies that donate their time, materials, and equipment know how much work it takes to keep our cemetery beautiful.
The Carrington Cemetery gets visitors from all over the United States and we receive many cards and letters with compliments about how well maintained and beautiful the grounds are kept. They are so grateful that we take such great care of where their loved ones are laid to rest.
With that in mind, this Memorial Weekend, please respect the cemetery and the loved ones that are buried there.
When the time is done, please pick up any items that you placed. Plastic flowers and other items blow away and the metal ends up ruining our mowers. No trimming will be done around any markers with items on the ground.
