DECCORATION REMINDER SPRING 2025

1. IF YOU ARE THE KEEPER OF A HEADSTONE THAT HAS VASES ATTACHED TO THE BASE:

Please make sure the vases are securely attached to the base. There are numerous vases that have come loose this winter and will not stay on the base. Please get them reattached as soon as possible so they don’t get lost or moved from the area. There are some vases that have broken and fallen apart that we have removed – we have taken pictures of these vases before removing them.

 

2. If a headstone has vases on the side, please put ALL flowers in the vases – this makes it so much easier for the mowing crew to weed eat around the headstones. The mowing crew will NOT move flowers/decorations to weed eat – if weeds grow between the decorations, it is your responsibility to cut them.

 

3. The mowing crew has asked that if you put any type of shepherd hooks or other holders at a grave – please put them on the sides of the headstone – not in the middle.

 

4. Any benches that are placed in the cemetery must be secured so they do not blow over – if they are not secure and continue to get blown over or moved from place-to-place they will be removed from the cemetery.

 

5. During spring cleaning, we removed several glass items that had broken. Please DO NOT put glass items on graves – it is dangerous to our cleaning and mowing crews.

 

6. If you put decorations other than flowers on the grave and they get broken or fall apart they will be removed. If decorations such as wind-chimes, windmills, etc. blow away, or start coming apart, they will be removed.

 

7. There are several headstones that have different types of vines growing around them. If they are starting to displace the headstone or encroach on other graves we will be cutting them down in the next few weeks.

April 2024

We are very pleased to announce that we have received approval from the IRS for our federal income tax exemption status! 

Donors can deduct contributions to the cemetery under section 170(c)(5) if those voluntary donations are to be used for care of the cemetery as a whole.  Donors cannot deduct contributions made for the perpetual care of a particular crypt or lot.  Nor can they deduct payments made as part of a purchase price of a burial lot or crypt.  We recommend that donors consult with their tax preparation experts to take advantage of these deductions.

​

Other big advantages of nonprofit status include tax-exempt status, or more accurately, the exemption from state and federal income tax and other taxes.  Getting certification from the IRS on our 501(c)(13) status will also allow us to benefit from tax-deductible contribution rules, which encourage donations.

​

Nonprofits may get discounts on many things, including valuable products and services from large companies that want to give back. They can also accept donations from individuals who want to help via fundraising activities, as well as pursue grants from foundations and government agencies. This financial assistance makes it easier to make ends meet and create a positive impact on the operation and continued maintenance of the cemetery.

October 11, 2023

For those that attempted to use Zoom to join the October board meeting tonight we are sorry for the inconvenience.  There was no one at the Milton City Hall building to let us in.  We will check tomorrow to see what the issue is.  We tried to start the Zoom meeting from the parking lot, but were not able to connect to the internet.  The only people present were four of the board members and two other people from the public.  There also appeared to be three people joining by Zoom.  

You may have noticed that we now have an agenda page on the website.  We are also working on other updates to the website.
