Spring Cleanup begins March 1st
As we prepare for our annual spring cleanup of Forest Lawn and several of the cemeteries in the Forest Lawn Group, we kindly ask that all graveside tributes and decorations be removed before March 1st.
This ensures a smooth and thorough process as we tidy up our beloved cemeteries. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Not only does it facilitate the cleanup effort, but it also helps us maintain the dignity and beauty of our sacred spaces.
After March 1st, flowers and other plants which are removed from gravesites by our cemetery staff will be disposed of when removed. As a courtesy to our lot owners, other items will be taken to a designated area at each cemetery (see details below), and will be kept there until March 31 for your retrieval if you wish:
- Forest Lawn – adjacent to the Forest Lawn service garage, which is located behind our main office, at 1990 Main St.
- St. Matthew’s Cemetery (West Seneca) – Adjacent to the St. Matthew’s service garage, near Clinton St.
- Lakeside Cemetery (Hamburg) – Alongside the cemetery office.
- Williamsville Cemetery and Gethsemane Cemetery – Items will be taken to Forest Lawn and placed in an area adjacent to the Forest Lawn service garage, which is located behind our main office, near Main St.
Following the cleanup, you’ll have the opportunity to redecorate and honor your loved ones once again. Thank you for your understanding and support in preserving the sanctity of our grounds.
