Updated Decorating Policy Change – Effective Immediately

As we continue to grow and accommodate additional generations of families within Brookland Cemetery, so too do our needs change, resulting in new or modified rules and regulations. Please know that these changes are made in order to help us continue to maintain the quality and beauty of Brookland Cemetery that you have come to know and appreciate.

Please keep these new/modified regulations in mind as you prepare any fall decorations for the cemetery:

  • Effective immediately planting of any kind within the cemetery is not allowed.
  • Families waiting for their monument to be delivered are allowed 3 small decorations at the head of their loved one’s grave.
  • Winter decorating (non-mowing season) is restricted to 3 small decorations on the ground (in-front of existing monuments) and must abide by decorating policies including the 12” height restriction and the prohibition of the following: temporary markers of any kind, shepherd’s hooks, glass, wood, ceramics, concrete or iron, for the safety of all visitors to the cemetery.
  • Families are asked to be mindful of any tokens or decorations left by friends or family that would cause the 3-item limit to be exceeded.
  • Please no fresh pumpkins in the cemetery. Fresh pumpkins will be taken up by staff immediately. While a quintessential fall item, they are very difficult to clean up when rotten or broken, potentially leaving an unsightly mess that funeral attendees are forced to navigate while in the cemetery.
  • Warning: While holiday themed window clings are not prohibited in the cemetery as a decorating item, they are a damaging material to granite and will leave difficult to remove stains on monuments. Please consult your monument sales person for advice prior to using window clings on your stone.

New Sections Opened in Brookland Cemetery

Brookland Cemetery is pleased to announce that three new upright monument sections have been opened. We have been working diligently to add additional availability to our current plot offerings for families to choose from, for both pre- and at-need purchase. These new sections are all traditional, upright monument sections with prices starting at $1700.00 per plot.

With over 750 new plots, this expansion is intended to accommodate our current families as well as future generations. These new sections will allow families to purchase plots together in large groups as well as the option to purchase plots in close proximity to some of our older, sold-out sections to be close to loved ones already with us at Brookland Cemetery. The three new sections are located on the northern and eastern side of the cemetery, close to the main entrance.

Additional new sections are currently being developed on the western side of the cemetery and are expected to be completed sometime in late 2024.
