Memorial Weekend is a wonderful time to remember loved ones and we love to see all the beautiful flowers at the area cemeteries. Please keep in mind the policy on placing items at St John's, Hector; St Mary's, Bird Island; St Aloysius, Olivia, St Mary's, Bechyn; & Calvary, Renville. We are working hard to keep all of the cemeteries mowed & trimmed. According to our AFC cemetery policies, “Flowers are not to be left on the grave indefinitely. Those placed on the graves near the monument or marker can be left there one week after a holiday and then removed.” Anything left will be removed after 2 weeks. If items are not located directly on the stone and put in the ground next to the stone, they will be removed for mowing and trimming purposes. We thank everyone who has been out to visit our cemeteries and helping to keep them looking so beautiful!
