St. Joseph Memorial Park and Mount Auburn Cemetery will conduct its semi-annual cemetery cleanup on Monday, March 3.

Cemetery staff will clear all flowers, decorations and additional items off every grave to mow and conduct maintenance of the cemetery grounds. 

Community members are asked to remove any items that they wish to keep by the evening of March 2. All items left behind are subject to disposal.

The cemeteries conduct two general cleanups annually. Once the first Monday in March and once the Monday following Memorial Day.
