• City owned, they provide general maintenance: mowing grass and raking leaves. Individual families are responsible for maintaining their own families' plots. Temples purchased the lots from the cemetery so may need to contact them for number of plots bought. Some of the temples will only let temple members be buried in their section (probably due to limited space). Some are more flexible. They provide walking tours of the cemetery from May through October. A new cemetery manager began in February 1997.
