SUGAR GROVE CEMETERY SPRING CLEAN-UP TO BEGIN MARCH 1
LOCATION – Sugar Grove Cemetery, Wilmington, OH
Sugar Grove Cemetery will be conducting its Annual Spring Clean-up beginning March 1, 2025 and concluding March 14, 2025. While flower arrangements and other grave decorations are a popular way to honor friends and family that have passed, those items can become weathered and worn. Staff will be removing and disposing of ALL decorations on and around headstones, regardless of season or condition, unless individuals have received written permission to leave decorations in place. Individuals are encouraged to remove any decorations they wish to keep prior to March 1. Items removed from gravesites will not be replaced or available for pickup. Decorations can be placed again on March 15.
The City of Wilmington appreciates the public’s assistance as we continually work to beautify Sugar Grove Cemetery. The spring cleanup enhances the cemetery’s appearance and prepares Sugar Grove for the summer mowing season.
If you have questions regarding the spring clean-up schedule or the grave decorating policies, please contact the Sugar Grove Cemetery Office at (937) 382-6509.
