Page 8 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 18, 2024 Forest Dale Cemetery Board of Trustees Reinforce Guidelines for Gravesite Decorations Special to Th e Advocate I n an effort to maintain the beauty, safety and uniformity of Forest Dale Cemetery, the Malden Cemetery Board of Trustees seeks to enforce a more consistent policy with regard to the decoration of gravesites. The regulations below are designed to preserve the peaceful atmosphere and ensure that all gravesites are treated with equal respect while also addressing safety and maintenance concerns. As of December 31, 2024, the following regulations will be enforced: 1. Flowers only may be planted in front of Monument/Markers, and only in the width of each Monument/Marker. The space of 8-10 inches in front of each Monument/Marker is the only place allowed for fl owers. 2. No plants are allowed on either side or behind Monument/Markers. Do not plant trees, bushes/shrubs, rose bushes, azaleas, holly or hostas. 3. Urns, window boxes, fencing or curbing may not be used at Monument/Markers. 4. Rocks, stones, trinkets or personal markers are not allowed. All other items left at gravesites will be removed to prevent damage to grounds and ensure the area is accessible for maintenance crews. 5. Candles and open fl ames are prohibited. For the safety of all visitors, open fl ames, including candles or lanterns, are not allowed. This policy has been thoughtfully considered to balance the desire of families to honor their loved ones with the need to preserve a clean, serene and safe environment for all who visit Forest Dale Cemetery. The Cemetery Board of Trustees will be enforcing the above policy as of December 31, 2024, without further notice to gravesite owners.
