The
Webster Union Cemetery invites you to Adopt A Grave. In doing so, you will
help in maintaining the grave and thereby also improve the appearance of the
Cemetery.
Maintenance of a grave may be as little as weeding the plot from time to
time, or perhaps planting flowers and trimming the grass surrounds. In
addition, the person taking care of the grave may choose to research the
person buried within, and become the foremost expert of that person’s life.
Collected information would be added to the cemetery history page on our web
site.
To apply to Adopt A Grave,
download the application
. It is in
PDF format, which should open correctly on any
computer using Adobe's free Acrobat Reader. (Click here to download the form in Microsoft Word format).
Print
the form, complete the required sections, and return it to the Secretary,
c/o 649 Holt Road Webster, NY 14580. The form will then be forwarded to a
Cemetery official who will carry out a review of the lot and your plan of
work before arranging to discuss your proposals for maintenance of the
grave. Neither cleaning of the monuments, nor reconstruction work, will be
permitted. The grave site must comply with
Cemetery Rules and Regulations
.
There is no limit to the number of graves a person may adopt, nor how many
people may be involved in one adoption, but each adoption application must
be accompanied by a separate signed form.
PLEASE NOTE: the Adopt-A-Grave program does not supersede the natural
rights of persons who maintain the graves of family members. We offer
encouragement to and for families of those interred in Webster Union
Cemetery, to refresh and renew their interests in their local and family
history.
