Cemetery operations include the conduct of Memorial Day and other special ceremonies, as well as the care of graves, structures and grounds.

Any request to work over these hours must be requested in writing and approved by Cemetery Director in conjunction with COR a minimum of 24hrs in advance. Also, the Cemetery hosts numerous ceremonies and events. Work that interferes with these ceremonies will cease during ceremonies.
