Last Updated: 22 February 2015

Applying any chemcials, compounds, or fertilizers to the grass or plants is not allowed unless each use has been approved by the Cemetery Manager. Many chemicals harm monument and statuary materials and, by the nature of plants, many chemicals can travel and harm other greenery.

The State of Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) has excellent sources of information concerning records and the care of grounds, monuments, etc. The website address is www.mdah.state.ms.us.
