Cemetery clean-ups are in progress in the town of Cochrane.

Town officials say that all "non-compliant items will be removed" from Cochrane cemeteries while the seasonal maintenance and clean-up are taking place.

This is including but not limited to:

  • temporary signs
  • pictures/ornaments/flower pots/jars/bottles/ iron and wire works/any glass or plastic containers
  • non-compliant markers/monuments 
  • planted flowers/trees/shrubs
  • loose materials such as rock, mulch or brick
  • borders, fences, railings, curbs, hedges or any enclosure

Officials say that items will be held at St. Andrew Cemeteries for one month, and they recommend checking the shelves at the front entrance for your belongings.
