Potted plants may be set on lots, without disturbing the sod, on
special occasions, such as Memorial Day, birthday, anniversary, etc.,
but if not removed within five days, will be picked up without notice
and destroyed if unsightly, or preserved for use in beds within the
cemetery if suitable. A flower vase as recommended by the cemetery
in front of markers or monuments is permissible. Any vase or vase
stand that is not in use for one year or more will be removed by the
City of Onalaska Department of Public Works without notice. Shepherds
hooks will be allowed, one per site, and must be at least 24 inches
from the lowest part of the hanging pot to the ground, and installed
immediately against the monument. Winter decorations will be allowed
after November 15 but will be removed April 15 and destroyed. Other
artificial pieces, including grave blankets and wreaths, may be used
during this period only. Wreaths on wire stands must also be placed
at the head of the lot.
