Floral arrangements accompanying the remains (casket or urn) at the time of burial will be placed on the dressed and closed gravesite (if outdoors). They will be removed when they become faded, unsightly or when it becomes necessary to facilitate cemetery grounds maintenance operations such as mowing. Our floral policy allows for fresh cut flowers to be placed on the gravesite year round. Small green floral vases are located near the cemetery office for this purpose. (Note that wildlife roams and may feed upon floral arrangements. In addition, any baskets, vases and potted plants will be removed and discarded to allow for mowing and trimming.)

The day of the burial, arrangements to have flowers, wreaths or other dignified decorations placed at the outdoor gravesites may be made by contacting a local florist and providing them with the gravesite location for floral placement to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to the service. Artificial flowers may be permitted to dress the outdoor gravesites during the turf’s dormant period (from 15 November to 15 March). Planting of trees, flowers, and shrubs by the public as memorials is prohibited.

Christmas wreaths and other dignified seasonal adornments may be placed on graves from 1 December to 20 January, however, these may not be secured to the headstones or markers (due to stone deteriorations and discoloration). Placing of flowers, wreaths or other decorations is prohibited in the Columbarium (due to environmental conditions). Minor children visiting the Robstown Cemetery must be accompanied by an adult.
