| Memorials
Elmwood Cemetery is a place of diversity in the range and scope
of the artistic memorials that have been placed here to honor those
at rest. More than designating a burial location, memorials serve
as a reminder and a celebration of the life of a loved one. From
lawn level markers on individual graves, to family monuments, each
memorial at Elmwood can be customized to a family’s wishes.
You may choose from an array of sizes and styles offered from a
selection of top quality manufacturers. Using the finest materials,
from bronze to granite, available in a variety of shades and colors,
your memorial can be personalized with a meaningful statement and
design. An experienced advisor will review the variety of choices
available so that you can create a memorial that will be a lasting
tribute for you and your loved ones.
Tributes
 Loved ones can be honored with floral arrangements in all seasons
and all settings as well as to commemorate holidays and special
occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. Fresh floral tributes
are welcomed in all of outdoor areas and artificial flowers may
be placed in our mausoleums. For your convenience, our office supplies
temporary metal vases, free of charge, for your use. Seasonal items
such as wreaths, flags and customized grave blankets are also permitted. The cemetery removes unsightly temporary decorations
on a regular basis. Please refer to the following sections for removal policies.
 Flags
Flags are available in our office, free of charge, for anyone wishing to place them on a memorial during the Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Veterans Day holidays. Flags should be no larger than 12"x18". Flags may be removed within ten (10) days of the Holiday.
