At Meadowview Cemetery our scatter garden was replanted and redesigned by Jeanne Johnson a local Master Gardener. This garden was designed to have blooms in the spring, summer and fall. There will also be a stone for the scatter garden very soon listing all who are scattered there.

Excavation was completed for Forestview Cemetery and the irrigation system was installed in 2021.  Andrew Mullins, a local Eagle Scout raised enough funds to have a 35’ flagpole and bench installed at this cemetery. In the spring of 2022, Norway Spruce trees will be planted along the side of the cemetery allowing for some privacy. To obtain a Right to Inter for Forestview Cemetery please contact the Dept. of Public Works.
