Picture perfect! To help keep Heidelberg Union Church’s cemetery looking beautiful and maintained, abide by the following rules:

·The cemetery is closed 9 p.m.-6 a.m.

·No glass jars, vases or ornaments and no metal pins, rods or wires. This includes artificial decorations with wires which are dangerous for the church lawn mowers and trimmers; and

·No planting of trees or shrubs. Live plants need to be removed by Thanksgiving, and Christmas items by March 1.

Respectfully abiding by these rules will help the Heidelberg Union Church Cemetery Team continue to be good stewards as they care for the cemetery.
