Rest Haven Cemetery

A short walk to the graveside eliminates the need for multiple funeral vehicles and the long drive from the funeral service. After the graveside service, family and friends can return to the lounge in a few minutes.

The vandals you suspect are damaging floral decorations on grave sites may be really four-legged creatures that roam Rest Haven when no one is around. Deer, dozen and dozens of them from nearby wooded areas like to visit the cemetery and nip the tasty tops off flowers and buds. This can be especially troubling for relatives tending new burial sites where fresh flower arrangements from funerals decorate graves of someone who has just died. The management at Rest Haven sympathizes with relatives upset about damaged decorations. Yet, aside from banning fresh flowers, there is little that can be done to keep deer off the grounds. While vandalism is a problem at cemeteries nationwide, we just thought you should know that often times, deer not vandals may be responsible.

Wintertime at Rest Haven Cemetery March 2004 proved to come in like a lion. Just look at what you snowbirds in Florida missed! As you can see, our little mermaid in our fountain is covered with white frosty snow. We can only hope that March goes out like a lamb.
