Our Memorial Chapel is a peaceful place for families to visit loved
ones who have passed. In addition, we
hold services in our chapel daily. As
our chapel is now almost full, it has become important to develop rules for
decorating so all families have equal opportunity and space to leave
decorations for their loved ones. As a
result, Mt. Olivet officially adopts the following list of rules and
regulations regarding the placing of decorations in our Memorial Chapel:
·
Only one
decoration per crypt or niche is allowed. Decorations must have the last name of the
deceased on them. This allows for the
cemetery to ensure proper placement of decorations if we have to move them for
services or maintenance.
·
Any decorations that are unsightly will be
removed and discarded. These include but
are not limited to wilted flowers, faded decorations, etc.
·
Only fresh cut, silk or plastic flowers are
allowed in our Memorial Chapel.
·
No decorations shall cover or block another
crypt.
·
No stickers, statuary, photo frames or other
unapproved decorations may be left in the Chapel.
·
Under no circumstances can any object be
attached to a crypt or niche.
·
With the exception of fresh cut flowers, all
decorations must be appropriate to the decorating season.
