COVID-19 Information-Updated May 13, 2020

Dear Walnut Grove and Flint Cemetery Family and Friends,

During these challenging times we, the staff and Trustees of Walnut Grove and Flint Cemeteries wish to assure you that our Cemeteries will continue to offer service to our public in keeping with our over 150 years’ tradition.

The Cemeteries grounds will maintain their regular open hours for visitation by friends and loved ones. While walking, biking or driving on our roads, please be aware of others including funeral processions and our grounds crew. If you are walking your dog, please keep them on a leash and pick up after them. Families are disturbed by seeing dogs urinating on headstones and defecating on a person’s grave space.

Also, our operations require the use of heavy equipment including back-hoes, dump trucks, utility vehicles, lawn mowers, etc. please be alert and stay to the side of the road.

You may be confident that, should the need arise for a burial in ground that you own in the Cemeteries, we will provide full service to your family. In accordance with the call for more social distancing, we are working with families in small numbers to ensure accordance with this policy and limited memorial service attendees.

The Office Staff is available by appointment only. (The office restrooms are currently closed.) If you are interested in purchasing grave spaces or would like an appointment, please call 614-885-5933.

Continue to check this site before planning a trip to the Cemetery. We will update our website with announcements about any further changes to our daily operations.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have

 

Stay Safe, Stay Well.

The Cemetery Board of Trustees and Staff
