Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island's cemetery staff will be completing a full cleanup of decorations at our cemeteries. In addition to removing all Christmas decorations, cemetery staff will remove and discard any items from gravesites that are not permitted per the cemetery's rules and regulations.

Due to the volume of items being removed during the cleanup, it is not possible to make arrangements to have families claim items once they have been removed.
Families are requested to remove any placed items that they wish to save. We kindly ask that families refrain from placing any prohibited items back on graves after the cleanup is completed.

The cemetery's rules and regulations play an important part in the beautification and preservation of the sacred resting place of the faithful departed. They are intended not as restraining, but rather as defining an orderly plan of operation, care, and permanent maintenance. Please visit Catholic Cemeteries Long Island website for more information on Planting & Decoration guidelines, overview of cemetery rules and regulations and decoration placement schedule.
