CEMETERY CLEANUP NOTICE:
Effective March 1st, 2025, our grounds crew will begin our annual early spring cemetery cleanup. Please remove any items, including decorations AND shepherd's hooks, from graves you would like to keep. If you cannot make it in to clean off graves, please contact our cemetery office at 513-574-0360 to arrange for our grounds crew to save your items for you to pick up later.
To ensure the safety of our visitors, staff, and equipment, we kindly ask that Shepherds Hooks not be placed on graves from March 1st though October 31st. During this time period, it has been found that these items have posed potential hazards to cemetery workers & visitors, and have caused damage to mowing and maintenance equipment.
We truly value your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and respectful environment for everyone.
Shepherds Hooks are welcome from November 1st through February 28th, when regular mowing operations have finished for the winter months.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office at 513-574-0360.
WINTER WEATHER NOTICE:
In the event of winter weather, please do not drive or walk on cemetery roads if they are snow or ice covered. Cemetery roads are considered CLOSED and assumed to be slick and dangerous until our grounds crew has plowed them. Thank you for your cooperation.
Because of your generosity in our previous annual holiday donation campaign letter in 2022, we have were able to begin the first phase of our driveway rehabilitation program. You will notice that the Harrison Ave entrance is completely resurfaced, and numerous parts of our driveway have been repaired. The job still needs to be completed- three more sections of the driveway require replacement. Unfortunately, with our 2023 donation letter, we did not collect enough in donations to resurface our next section of driveway. Many have asked our staff if they can still donate- Yes!
Please send a check to:
If you or your business would like to donate enough for the naming rights to a section of our road in memory of a loved one or in recognition of a business, contact our office at 513-574-0360. All donations are tax-deductible, and receipts will be provided upon request.
Thank you for your patience as we continue into the second phase of road rehabilitation. Further road closures may be possible later in the year as we proceed with more road work as donations allow.
Thank you to the Green Township VFW 10380!
In partnership with the Green Township VFW Post 10380 we are proud to annually host a ceremony commemorating veterans buried in our cemetery on the nationally recognized Wreaths Across America Day. This dignified, solemn ceremony is organized and carried out by the Green Township VFW Post 10380.
What is Wreaths Across America?
WAA’s mission – Remember, Honor, Teach – is carried out in part by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, veterans’ cemeteries, and other locations in all 50 states. Every year since 2008, Congress proclaims a Saturday in December as National Wreaths Across America Day. This year, this event was held on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024 at 12 pm.
