Forest Hill Cemetery received a load of black dirt from Bob Bahr. Board Members want the community to know, that if you have loved ones buried in Forest Hill, you can use this dirt to spruce up your family grave sites. It is available at the back of the cemetery. So please help yourselves to it. The board wishes to thank Bob for the generous donation. We appreciate Bob for his continued support of the cemetery.

Would anyone out there have a use for this blue fuel/oil tank? It did not leak when it was last used. We would like it to be removed from the garage at Forest Hill but thought someone might have a use for it. Please let me know personally and we can make arrangements for you to pick it up.

There still is an abundance of flowers, statues, solar lights, crosses laying between the office and garage. Please families, come and
get them and put them back on your loved one's graves sites. Again, we apologize for the recent incident. The cemetery looks amazing with all the ornaments and flowers.

There was a mistake made today 5/19, at Forest Hill Cemetery. Some young helpers picked up flowers and memorial tokens from graves as our spring clean up began. They were supposed to pick up dead flowers/wreaths/debris that had sat or blown around over winter. They did not realize that folks had already begun putting out their Memorial Day flowers/memorials and the pieces they picked up were newly placed. We have set them out by our garage. Unfortunately, there is no way for us to know where these belong. We invite you to come out and place your items back to their proper place. We would be so very grateful. We cannot say how sorry and devastated we were to see what had happened and beg for your understanding and to forgive our young helpers.

Sincerely,
FHC Board of directors

Just a FYI: Today, a few volunteers including two young men from the baseball team at I. Falls Minnesota North College helped move equipment & culverts, fixed a few block signs, hung up our office sign and straightened out our big garage. Some items are still outside those buildings and will be put back soon. In particular, they have left the green metal wreath holders out. These are cemetery property and we want to keep them for future projects. Note that they are not a free item to take home. If the board decides to sell them or let the public use them at the cemetery, we will post that information on Facebook. Thank you to those that came out and completed some needed projects. It is greatly appreciated.

Throughout the Month of May, we will have several community groups doing volunteer work out there too!

The Board of Directors would like to inform the community that in the next few weeks; we are having the pillars at Gate 1 and Gate 2 Entrances repaired.

If you see construction going on in those areas, please use an alternate road to access the cemetery. The entrance roads at the office & garage and by the VFW/American Legion Sections are available and those roads will lead to the other sections of the cemetery.

Thank you for your continued support.

It's that time of the year to post about Memorial Day Observance and the placement of flower displays at Forest Hill Cemetery.

Flowers or other displays can be placed on gravesites five (5) days before Memorial Day (May 25th) and must be picked up seven (7) days after. The dates this year are: May 20th thru June 1st. Any flowers, solar lights, decorations, etc. that are left after those dates will be picked up by our volunteers or lawn mowing crew. They will be placed by our garage and office area and disposed of shortly afterward. We will post on facebook when our crews will be removing the items to give the public an opportunity to retrieve their items before disposal. A reminder that Shepard Hooks are not allowed in the cemetery any time during the year and will be removed.

Please note that if you drive out to the cemetery during this holiday season, please do not park on the grass. We have signs posted throughout the cemetery as a reminder.

If you have any questions, please email us at: [email protected]. Thank you for your continued cooperation. Have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. Forest Hill Cemetery Board of Directors.
