Seasonal Clean-Up

McDivitt Grove Cemetery is cleaned at least three times a year: Spring (before mowing season), after Memorial Day, and Fall (end of mowing season). Additional clean up is done on an as-needed basis are notices are posted on our website. Individuals are encouraged to remove anything they wish to keep before the clean ups begin.

Seasonal Clean-Up Alert:  There will be a seasonal clean-up the week of October 11, 2021.
