This bi-annual cleaning takes place before Easter and before Thanksgiving each year. Dates for the cleaning will be posted in each cemetery prior to the cleaning. Several years ago, the City Council decided that the City would not acquire additional property for expansion of the City cemeteries. The City will continue to develop the currently undeveloped acreage currently owned at Rutherford and West Concord Cemeteries.
