As the end of March approaches, residents with loved ones resting at Lakeside Cemetery in Port Huron are reminded to remove all winter decorations and non-conforming items from grave sites by March 31st.
The goal of the clean-up is to keep the cemetery from becoming an eyesore due to old decorations and tributes left by family members and friends. Failure to comply will result in removal and disposal by cemetery personnel starting April 1st, without further notice. Only patriotic flags and flowers are permitted on cemetery plots, with all other items strictly prohibited.
The City of Port Huron has urged visitors to familiarize themselves with Lakeside Cemetery rules available on the city’s website. Families are encouraged to honor the guidelines to maintain the cemetery’s tranquility and dignity for all visitors and residents alike.
