Three years ago, the Dorchester Cemetery Association enacted a new ruling that prohibits the placement of flowers, vases and/or any other container that is not located and contained on the base of the stone. This is necessary to ensure that the lawn mowing and weed removal process can take place. Any article or container remaining on the outside of the base on the ground (except for one shepherd hook in the ground by the base) beginning September 1 will be removed.
